Tech Workers Speak Out Against ICE After Minneapolis Killings

TIME - Tech 

While many tech workers protested President Donald Trump's policies during his first term, Silicon Valley's rank and file has been quieter over the past year as their bosses genuflect to his administration. But that may be changing following the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. Last week, following the killing of Good, more than 200 Silicon Valley staffers published a letter urging tech leaders to use their platforms to call for ICE's removal from U.S. cities. As of Tuesday, following the killing of Pretti, the letter has more than 450 signatories, including employees from Google, Amazon and TikTok. The letter argues that tech leaders have a unique ability to influence Trump.
