Minneapolis ICE shootings have pushed CEOs back into politics. Some are being more blunt than others.

"Target's incoming CEO, who starts next week, sent a video message to staff in which he described the violence and loss of life in the local community as "incredibly painful;" he did not mention Trump or ICE directly. Others have been more blunt. Big names in tech and venture capital, as well as small business owners around the country, have expressed outrage at the Trump administration and ICE on their own social media pages, using words like "murderer," "shameful," and "a conscious-less administration.""

""a conscious-less administration." Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, senior associate dean for leadership studies at the Yale School of Management, said "CEOs are feeling the community pressure." He said that reactions that convey sorrow and don't mention Trump or ICE are likely to be perceived as an unwelcome challenge to the White House's immigration agenda. "That is not what the Trump administration wanted," he said."

Deadly shootings by ICE agents in Minnesota have prompted corporate leaders to speak publicly after months of political restraint. Local CEOs and more than 60 heads of major Minneapolis-area companies urged deescalation without naming Trump, ICE, or the victims. Some executives expressed grief and described the losses as "incredibly painful," while others used harsher language on social media to condemn the administration and ICE. Business leaders report community pressure to respond. Observers warn that sorrowful remarks that avoid naming perpetrators may still be read as challenges to the White House's immigration agenda, drawing potential backlash.
