Nearly 900 Google employees signed an open letter urging the company to be more transparent about how its technology is used by U.S. immigration enforcement agencies. Workers expressed alarm that Google continues providing cloud services and other support to agencies like ICE and CBP, especially as recent federal operations have become more aggressive and resulted in civilian deaths. Several employees said they felt misled about Google’s involvement in government surveillance and enforcement work, arguing that the company is drifting away from its stated values. They also criticized leadership, including CEO Sundar Pichai, for not addressing the extent of Google’s government partnerships. The letter calls for Google to withdraw from all DHS‑related work, protect employees from immigration enforcement, and hold an all‑hands meeting to address concerns.
