Several sites are reporting, without reference to IBM's activities 70 years ago, that Microsoft's contact with ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) is drawing fire online. The Computer Business Review includes a quote from Microsoft now missing from their press release:
"ICE's decision to accelerate IT modernization using Azure Government will help them innovate faster while reducing the burden of legacy IT. The agency is currently implementing transformative technologies for homeland security and public safety, and we're proud to support this work with our mission-critical cloud," he wrote.
KUOW radio writes on their web site that Microsoft is facing outrage their for blog post touting ICE contract:
As outrage grew online, a Microsoft employee quietly removed mention of ICE from the January press release this morning. Social media users noticed that, too. The company has since restored the press release's original language, and called its removal a "mistake."

Then the kids get locked up with the parents. I am very liberal in many areas, but no you don't just let them go free inside the country.
So here are the options:
Immediate repatriation, no due process.
Family stays locked up together until everyone involved is cleared to leave
Kids get sent to seperate facilities that better match their rights, while adults are tried for their crime.
I will support all three, I will not support letting them go into the states. I am willing to bet NONE of these alternatives are to your liking and that this is a round about way to argue for them all to be set free in the country.
