Big tech helped get us into this situation. Workers want it to help get us out, starting with canceling ICE contracts.
Hundreds of tech industry workers are asking their CEOs to stand up to the Trump administration’s weaponization of immigration forces and the subsequent violence that’s ensued.
In a letter signed by more than 400 employees from Apple, Meta, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Salesforce, OpenAI, Nvidia and more, tech workers are demanding that their employers cancel all company contracts with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, speak out publicly against the violence carried out by the agency’s officers, and use their leverage to call the White House and demand an end to the crackdown.
Protests against ICE’s brutal immigrant crackdown have been surging across the country over the past few months, but things have been especially intense in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where both Renee Good and Alex Pretti were murdered by ICE officers just three weeks apart.
The increasing cases of troubling violence against protesters and bystanders come after thirty-two people died while in ICE custody last year, in what was the agency’s deadliest year since 2004.
