Salesforce Employees Urge CEO To Drop ICE

On 10 February 2026, more than 1,400 Salesforce employees sent a letter to CEO Marc Benioff urging the company to drop potential contracts with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The staff cited concerns that Salesforce pitched AI tools to help ICE hire 10,000 agents and vet tip-line reports, and they asked for cancellation of active pitches and pauses on enabling infrastructure or AI systems. Business Insider also reported up to 1,000 layoffs at Salesforce in early February 2026 amid broader 2025 support cuts.
