- Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce, publicly supports President Trump and endorses sending National Guard troops to San Francisco.
- Salesforce sent a memo to the Trump administration proposing to help ICE with talent acquisition to expand its workforce by 10,000 officers.
- Salesforce has long-standing contracts with ICE, dating back to the Obama and Biden administrations, making federal agencies a key customer.
- Benioff's support for Trump aligns with Salesforce's financial interests in government contracts, despite potential reputational risks.
- Critics, including state officials, condemn Salesforce's involvement with ICE, calling it unacceptable for aiding in the expansion of 'secret police.'
- Benioff later retracted his statement about the National Guard, apologizing for the concern it caused and emphasizing partnership in San Francisco.
