What ability does Chef have to change family separation and detainment? These things would still be happening if ICE had to go back to whatever they were using before Chef.
- BrainInAJar 7y agobut they might be harder. Which is the point. Private people can resist abhorrent policies by putting up roadblocks or at least not making it easier
- Steven_Vellon 7y agoHarder how? Explain how making ICEs deployment pipeline slower will make ICE release migrants or stop family separation. If you want to claim that Chef should cease business with ICE explicitly on the moral grounds that no company should have any business with the agency, that is a valid claim. But to say that Chef had any influence, let alone "all the ability" as the root commenter wrote, to affect ICE's conduct is not a statement I find to be honest.
- commandlinefan 7y agoIf anything, this sort of thing makes it worse for the immigrants awaiting asylum hearings: if it's harder to keep track of who's there, it's harder to process them. There was a company whose employees walked out when they found out they were making beds for ICE detainment facilities... resulting in fewer beds for detainees.
- nojvek 7y agoBullshit. If ICE really wanted beds for their detainees they’d have gone somewhere else. In a way, it’s a baby step about making life really hard for ICE such that they have capacities for less detainees while we wait for a sane president who isn’t xenophobic. Akin to how cloudflare kicked off sites who condoned violence and hate from their services. Sure they can go someowhere else, but their life gets harder eventually to the point that they’re more naked in news and no one wants to work with them or associated with them and they eventually shutdown.
