Beth Davidson Profits From ICE After Killing the Bill to Limit ICE. Now She's Running Ads About Standing Up to ICE.
NY-17 frontrunner Beth Davidson holds $395,000 in Microsoft, Amazon, and Oracle stock — and $5 million in equities overall — while campaigning on a promise to protect Rockland County's migrants.
WASHINGTON — Beth Davidson is running on her spine.
Her six-figure TV ad campaign, launched in mid-May, includes a spot titled “Never Backs Down” — a declaration that the Rockland County legislator and frontrunner in New York’s competitive 17th Congressional District Democratic primary doesn’t flinch when it comes to ICE. Patch
Her personal financial disclosure tells a different story.
$395,000 in the Companies Arming ICE
Davidson introduced the “Safety and Dignity for All Act,” a bill that would limit how sheriff’s deputies and other county employees work alongside ICE. What she doesn’t mention in her ads: she holds stock in three companies that have made the agency’s enforcement operations possible. CBS News
As of May 2026, Davidson and her family reported owning up to $395,000 in Microsoft, Amazon, and Oracle — three corporations with active ICE contracts. She also collected up to $12,300 in dividend income from those holdings since the start of 2025.
Microsoft’s ICE relationship alone is substantial. The Guardian reported earlier this year that ICE deepened its reliance on Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform as it ramped up arrest and deportation operations — more than tripling the amount of data it stored there. Amazon’s relationship with the agency is just as lucrative: Forbes reported that ICE spent a record $25 million with Amazon over just an eight-month period in the first year of the second Trump administration. Oracle, meanwhile, has landed ICE cloud infrastructure contracts through federal procurement channels.
Davidson is not just a passive shareholder. She is a candidate running immigration enforcement oversight as a central promise — while collecting dividend checks from the companies making that enforcement possible.
