The #NoTechforICE campaign targets Palantir, Amazon, Salesforce, Microsoft, and other tech companies that have contracts with ICE and CBP.

Mijente has been working with students across the United States and the United Kingdom to cut these companies’ ties to different colleges, where they recruit heavily to grow.
