It's a political statement that will do nothing but echo in people's respective echo chambers. It'll get positive coverage like this in places like the Daily Dot and MSNBC, and Tucker Carlson will use it as "just another example of far left Silicon Valley attempting to circumvent our laws".

The net impact is zero.

Tucker Carlson talking about this is a good outcome. This will only highlight the power that open source and open source contributors have. Lol, a political kerfuffle over an devops FOSS project.

Make working with ICE a toxic asset. Make people not proud of working for ICE contractors.

You actually think that Carlson is going to inform his viewers of the virtues, let alone technical details, of a FOSS project?

This kind of activism in tech leads no where good. It will lead to witch hunts, more "cancel culture" purity spirals, and generally shit software used for critical functions of our government.
