In 2017, Akima fired an employee who had posted a picture of herself flipping off Donald Trump and his motorcade on her personal social media, unconnected to Akima. She sued for wrongful termination, alleging that another employee had also posted obscene political messages relating to Black Lives Matter but was not fired. She also claimed that the company had breached its contract relating to severance pay; in 2018, the wrongful termination part of her lawsuit was dismissed by the Virginia courts.
In the 2010s and 2020s, Akima subsidiaries were responsible for running migrant detention facilities in states such as Texas, New York, Florida, and Arizona. A 2023 audit and 2024 report by the Department of Homeland Security found that Akima Global Services' guards had used broken regulations about the use of physical force against detainees their Texas and Florida centers, and condemned the solitary confinement unit in Texas for safety reasons. The facility in New York was also subject to civil rights complaints. In August 2024, Akima Infrastructure Protection was contracted by ICE to run a detention center for immigrants in Guantánamo Bay. In response, several shareholders surveyed other NANA shareholders and called for the leadership to "immediately end all relations with ICE and detention centers". In response, the chair of the board of directors said that Akima staff worked in accordance with Iñupiaq values and denied that they would mistreat anybody.
Operated by Akima, the ICE-owned Krome North Service Processing Center in Miami, Florida was reported to have exceeded its contractual capacity by almost 200%, in April 2025, resulting in additional temporary structures; detainees of the facility formed a human SOS sign in its yard two months later, in a plea for humanitarian assistance.
