Over 1,400 Salesforce employees signed a letter last week demanding that CEO Marc Benioff cease business operations with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), sources told CNBC.
“We are deeply troubled by recent press reports describing Salesforce pitches of AI technology to [ICE] to help the agency ‘expeditiously’ hire 10,000 new agents and vet tip-line reports,” the letter said, according to CNBC. The letter was drafted after Benioff “joked” to international employees at a Salesforce leadership event in Las Vegas that “ICE agents were in the building monitoring them,” WIRED reported.
