Marc Benioff Sticks Foot In His Mouth Again Making Jokes About ICE, Wisecracks Over Employees Getting Arrested

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff made the exceedingly unwise decision to kid his international employees that they might be arrested by ICE, and boy did that joke not land whilst he was addressing a company event.

It seems like just yesterday (it was right before Dreamforce) that Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff did an overnight San Francisco villain turn when declaring that National Guard agents should be deployed to San Francisco to carry out some Trumpy law-and-order shit. His employees were irate and he walked the comments back, and apparently even helped talk Trump out of a full federal agent surge that Trump was planning here. So it seems like Benioff learned his lesson on that one, right?
