Silicon Valley tech workers protest ICE contracts after recent violence, urging CEOs to cut ties as industry leaders face pressure to act
Minneapolis: Tech workers want ICE officers to leave US cities. Over 1,000 workers signed a letter called ICEout.tech after police shootings. They ask company bosses to stop working with ICE and speak out against their harsh methods.
Years ago, tech leaders protested when Trump banned travelers from some countries. Now, those same companies stay quiet as ICE causes harm. Workers say bosses care more about politics than helping people.
This week, some big tech CEOs finally talked about ICE’s actions. Workers hope this starts real change. Two workers who signed the letter explained, “When police hurt people and lie about it, we must say something.”
