Tech Employees Demand Their Leaders Take a Stand Against ICE
Tech workers demand CEOs pressure the White House to end ICE violence and cancel contracts after two fatal shootings in Minneapolis, with over 450 signing the letter.
- On Monday, more than 450 tech workers from Google, Meta, OpenAI, Amazon, and Salesforce signed the ICEout petition urging CEOs to call the White House and demand ICE leave our cities.
- The campaign traces to the deadly shooting of Renee Nicole Good three weeks earlier and grew after U.S. Border Patrol agents shot Alex Jeffrey Pretti, who appeared to help another person and raised an empty hand before shots.
- As tech CEOs gathered at a White House East Room screening, employees at Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic condemned the shooting, calling it `absolutely shameful` and some labeling agents `murderers`.
- The petition urges CEOs to cancel company contracts with ICE, affecting Palantir, Clearview AI, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, Oracle, and the $30 million ImmigrationOS contract awarded last year.
- Organizers kept signatories anonymous amid fears of retribution, The Register contacted 16 companies supporting ICEout, and October outreach precedent showed CEOs can influence White House policy.
