Vancouver tech company Hootsuite says it will not proceed with a contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement after staff raised concerns with the deal. Sam Anderson, an employee with Hootsuite, drew attention to it in a series of tweets Wednesday evening. Anderson said this week, the company signed a three-year deal with ICE despite "extremely vocal" opposition from more than 100 employees. Earlier this year, the U.S. government launched a pilot program to collect DNA from people in immigration custody to submit to the FBI. As a result, we have decided to not proceed with the deal with ICE."
