ICE has been going around without judicial, as opposed to administrative, warrants, relying on threats and coercion to be let in and to arrest people. That's what this probably is.

The story doesn't make sense, tbh ... One single guy. What was he supposed to do after they let him in? Just start asking people about their legal status? I doubt Google has many illegal immigrants working there ... I doubt there's even one. Then this guy finds them, allegedly, does he just arrests them and take them out the building? All by himself? With all the cameras and phones on the planet recording it? Inside Google, from all places? It just doesn't make sense. From the article: >Google’s top brass—including CEO Sundar Pichai and DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis—have remained silent on Pretti’s killing even inside the company, sources say. Why would they, though?

  I agree, I don't need to hear my CEO's opinions on whatever controversy is big today. Run the company, focus on that.

    I'd like to hear my CEO say that he won't allow goons into the building to drag me away to a concentration camp.

      There's not much a CEO can do about that ... (nor it should).

        CEO are among the few people who can actually do something about that.

        I don't follow. Do you have a concrete example?

        CEOs restructure. Haliburton for example seems to have head quarters psychizophrenia. Google headquartered in the US is weak. Google headquartered in Ireland can play the negotiation farce and will either win in the end or will be able to write off the US in a better position. Similarly they can move anyone who is uncomfortable to other GEOs individually. Kind of a weak move that may be enough if the current administration falls apart.

        None of this makes sense to me.

      What concentration camp? They're sending people home. Do I have a right to just show up and stay indefinitely in any country on earth just because I don't like my home country? Obama supported deporting people all day long, especially criminals, but now believing the existence of borders supposedly makes one "MAGA."

        I guess no one questions about illegal immigrants being deported, but actually being physically attacked, abused and havr authorities blatantly denying wrongdoing even when they are caught (besides using AI for editing images to create certain narratives and supporting such actions when they are found doing that) But anyway. That's not my problem. I hope all ends well for everyone

  I think you are maybe approaching this from some rational place with some kind of assumption of good will. ICE on the other hand invaded Hyundai and arrested a bunch of people on various visas without knowing what was law enforcement and what was kidnapping. Big mistake maybe, for who? Met their quota. Only one guy? Can call others as soon as they have found a suspicion and then it is not reasonable to deny other enforcement. It is potentially as illegal as blocking backup to an active crime scene.

    I am not saying it is related, but the SS police was famous for solving their personal problems while using the uniform too. They also escorted politicians and stuff on events although it was completely unrelated to their role. Later on, the SS became what they became.
