\n

Employees at Salesforce are circulating an internal letter to chief executive Marc Benioff calling on him to denounce recent actions by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, prohibit the use of Salesforce software by immigration agents, and back federal legislation that would significantly reform the agency.<\/p>\n

The letter specifically cites the \u201crecent killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis\u201d as catalysts, calling them the \u201cdevastating indictment of a system that has discarded human decency.\u201d It\u2019s unclear how many signatories the letter has received so far.<\/p>\n

The letter, which has not been reported on previously, is being organized amid Salesforce\u2019s annual leadership kickoff event this week in Las Vegas. During an appearance at the event earlier today, Benioff asked international employees to stand to thank them for attending, before joking that ICE agents were in the building monitoring them, according to current and former Salesforce employees who spoke to WIRED.<\/p>\n

Benioff\u2019s remarks sparked immediate backlash among employees. \u201cLots of people are furious,\u201d says one source, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation. Business Insider<\/a> and 404 Media<\/a> previously reported on Benioff\u2019s remarks and the reaction they received inside Salesforce.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are deeply troubled by leaked documentation revealing that Salesforce has pitched AI technology to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to help the agency \u2018expeditiously\u2019 hire 10,000 new agents and vet tip-line reports,\u201d the letter reads. \u201cProviding \u2018Agentforce\u2019 infrastructure to scale a mass deportation agenda that currently detains 66,000 people\u201473 percent of whom have no criminal record\u2014represents a fundamental betrayal of our commitment to the ethical use of technology.\u201d<\/p>\n

The letter argues that Benioff\u2019s voice \u201ccarries unique weight in Washington,\u201d pointing to an episode last fall when Trump called off an ICE deployment in San Francisco after what appeared to be outreach from Bay Area tech leaders, including Benioff and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. It urges Benioff to use that influence as a \u201ccorporate statesman\u201d to issue a public statement condemning what it calls ICE\u2019s unconstitutional conduct and to commit Salesforce to clear \u201cred lines\u201d barring the use of its cloud and AI products for state violence.<\/p>\n

Salesforce did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n
