""For months now, Trump has sent federal agents to our cities to criminalize us, our neighbors, friends, colleagues, and family members,""
""From Minneapolis to Los Angeles to Chicago, we've seen armed and masked thugs bring reckless violence, kidnapping, terror and cruelty with no end in sight.""
""This cannot continue, and we know the tech industry can make a difference,""
""When Trump threatened to send the national guard to San Francisco in October, tech industry leaders called the White House. It worked: Trump backed down.""
More than 450 tech workers from companies including Google, Meta, OpenAI, Amazon, and Salesforce signed a letter urging CEOs to call the White House and demand ICE leave cities. The signers allege federal agents have criminalized communities and deployed armed, masked personnel who commit violence and terror across multiple cities. Minneapolis is described as the focal point of an intense federal immigration operation characterized by confrontations and military-like tactics, with crowd-control measures including pepper spray, tear gas, rubber bullets, and sound cannons. The campaign intensified after the shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti and includes anonymous organizers fearing retribution.
