#3> “Our current engagement with ICE is focused on moving legacy infrastructure such as mail, calendar, messaging and document management to the cloud using Azure.”
I don’t understand why this makes it any better. I’m sure there’s a lot of “messaging and document management” needed to run those detainment centers. And besides, what’s going to happen in the future when they do ask to use Cognitive Services in their mission? “Sorry, you only get O365?”

#6> I think that what we’re seeing right now with ICE is deeply immoral. It’s a violation of human rights on all kinds of levels.
Treating criminals as criminals happens every day in every country and comes with the same consequences - children are separated from their parents.
Right now there are tens of thousands of broken black homes as one or two parents are in prison - where's the outrage for them and what about their human rights and their families?
This moral panic, fanned by the media, truly reflects an inability for critical thought. Illegal aliens ignore US law, knowing full well that their acts are illegal and have consequences. Go to a port of entry or embassy like all other immigrants. It's that simple.

These people are asylum seekers. What they are doing is literally not illegal. According to USCIS, asylum seekers must be physically present in the US to apply: To obtain asylum through the affirmative asylum process you must be physically present in the United States. You may apply for asylum status regardless of how you arrived in the United States or your current immigration status.

These people are being punished for following the law.
Additionally, there is no need to detain parents separately from children, and prior to the Trump administration, while deportations of asylum seekers did happen, families were not split up.

Nice of you to pretend to care. Can I refer you to your closest Black Lives Matter chapter?

#9As I get older, it's becoming clear how intertwined our morality is with our politics. And how that bleeds into business, sports, religion, etc.
It's nice to think of aspects of life that should be free from politics, but in reality that seems hard to achieve.

Not at all. Children are not separated because you used your prescription medicine after its end date. Children are not separated because you ran a red light.
Border crossing is merely misdemeanor and most of them are just seeking asylum.

Most of them actually come to a proper border patrol station to seek asylum. Again, US laws need to change if we need to better help these people.
