This is disappointing.
Since the $200,000 is immaterial to you, just cancel that deal entirely. You’re certainly going to lose more than that now this this letter is public.
This shouldn’t be this hard to figure out.
My general position these days is against the current administration. I don't say that as a way to start another argument but to frame what I'm about to say.
I admit that I skimmed but I does say that they're not providing professional service aandthat this is an on premise install. So... self managed, contract renewal, no assistance... This one hardly bothers me. Can't any one do the same with the (not literal) swipe of a credit card? It doesn't seem that they're doing custom work for ICE. But it's hard to decide where to draw the line here. Should we also get mad at anyone who sells them pizzas?
What is the problem people have with the ICE? I think most people would agree that it is important to have a department to handle immigration, and they are deporting significantly fewer people now that during the Obama administration.
ICE = Immigration & Customs Enforcement
(not Internal Combustion Engine, which was the only thing that came to my mind...)
Nothing wrong.
This is blood money.
many wonder/discuss what would they do say in 1936 in Germany when the illegals there were come for and taken away. I'm pretty sure that the people in that article would do https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/22/us/nashville-neighbors-help-p... . Unfortunately as history shows so far the people like this are minority. The rest of us - meh ... at best.

About the 200,000 contract with 500,000 donation “to make things right”
Sure, give a rapist the Nest cam that monitors the house of the victim.
And make up for it by offering the victim a paid subscription to Spotify — to offset the trauma.
Newsflash, this administration is breaking the law, and they are in contempt of Congress.
They are able to give the people the finger because of actions like this one
It would be interesting to know whether people living in a country with a broken political system, for example one characterized by oligarchy[1] and two eternal parties[2], are more likely to feel that it's the duty of employer to carry their political placard.
I definitely think companies have a moral duty to spend their efforts on good things, and there are many examples of deeply immoral companies.
But any society will also have political questions where people disagree, without there being a strong good/evil aspect to it. For example 'should the tax rate be 25%' or 'how should we organize our healthy system for the lowest cost / GDP'?
Forcing every company to debate these questions internally, and kicking customers off their product for violations, seems like an inefficient system.
But I think employee demand for such things will be higher in countries where they don't feel represented via the political system.
