"an immediate deescalation of tensions."
"These raids are terrorizing our community. We have to speak up without making things worse."
"Germany and the 26 dwarves"
"the goal is right, but we need to rethink the strategy to achieve it."
A fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis marked the second such death this month amid an intensified immigration enforcement campaign. More than 60 CEOs from Minnesota companies, including 3M, Best Buy, Cargill, General Mills, Land O'Lakes, Target, Xcel Energy and UnitedHealth Group, called for "an immediate deescalation of tensions." An executive said, "These raids are terrorizing our community. We have to speak up without making things worse." Target faced angry protests after an employee and U.S. citizen was pulled from a store during a raid and previously faced backlash for scaling back diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. At the World Economic Forum in Davos, corporate figures noted relative silence on related controversies, with Scott Galloway saying "Germany and the 26 dwarves." A Republican executive warned that current tactics could jeopardize national celebrations, saying "the goal is right, but we need to rethink the strategy to achieve it." Silicon Valley criticism of ICE tactics intensified, with Yann LeCun posting "murderers" alongside footage.
