Over 450 tech workers from major companies have signed an open letter urging CEOs to demand ICE leave cities following the fatal shootings of two individuals in Minneapolis. The letter calls for tech leaders to contact the White House and cancel ICE contracts, citing previous success when tech leaders pressured Trump to back down from sending the National Guard to San Francisco. While some tech figures like Reid Hoffman and Vinod Khosla have spoken out, major CEOs including Bezos, Cook, Pichai, and Zuckerberg remain silent despite attending Trump's inauguration. Several tech companies including Palantir, Clearview AI, AWS, Microsoft, and Oracle maintain lucrative contracts providing surveillance technology and cloud infrastructure to ICE and DHS.
