Microsoft and Amazon targeted by faith groups in immigration fight

Dec 6, 2019

The mossy courtyard of a gothic revival church in Brooklyn has little in common with a Microsoft office, but Silas Berkowitz's conscience has led him here.

A former employee of the technology giant, he now pickets its New York stores.

Silas, 29, is part of a movement challenging companies like Microsoft, Palantir and Amazon over their ties to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE.

The agency tracks, detains and deports undocumented immigrants — assisted by cloud computing and data processing services purchased from some of America's largest technology companies.
