Hundreds of Google employees urge company to resist support for Ice

Petition demands that the company not provide any technical services to US immigration agencies, citing 'system of abuse'

Tech giant Google is facing a demand from hundreds of employees for an assurance that it will not bid on a government cloud computing contract that could be used to enforce US immigration policies on the southern border.

A group of employees called Googlers for Human Rights posted a public petition overnight Thursday urging the company to resist tendering for a US Customs and Border Protection or Immigration and Customs Enforcement contract.
