Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff sparked backlash for joking about ICE, alarming immigrant employees and prompting calls for an apology.
Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff faced employee backlash after making jokes about ICE during the company’s 2026 kickoff event, including suggesting that employees not using a specific internal tool might draw immigration enforcement attention.
Staff members, particularly immigrant employees, criticized the remarks as insensitive and harmful, with many citing concerns about safety and fear of travel.
Internal Slack messages and an open letter called for a formal apology and reaffirmation of the company’s commitment to inclusion.
The incident adds to growing employee discontent over Benioff’s recent public statements, which some say contradict Salesforce’s progressive values.
