"GitHub CEO Nat Friedman wrote in an internal letter on Tuesday that the company plans to renew a contract worth $200,000 with ICE to license its GitHub Enterprise Server — an amount that Friedman called 'not financially material' for the company."

"... Friedman said he strongly disagrees with the Trump administration’s 'terrible' immigration policies. But, ultimately, he said, the company will continue to provide the agency with software because it doesn’t believe it should 'unplug technology services' when government customers use them to do things the company objects to."
