I guess if you think people have an inalienable right to cross whatever national border they want, then ICE is perpetuating crimes against humanity. If you believe otherwise (which I think is the generally accepted reasonable stance), then ICE is engaged in the difficult task of dealing with an influx of illegal border crossers whose identity and nationality is not known, with a subset of those illegal border crossers being children for whom it is not easy or straightforward to determine their legal guardians. To most people, that is not at all comparable to any of the abhorrent crimes you mentioned.

So why even mention them?

Because clearly GitHub thinks there's something wrong with what ICE is doing: they're donating more than the revenue of the contract to anti-ICE organizations, they're suing ICE, etc. Why should they do any of that, if ICE is simply doing an important and difficult job?

Again, I am not asking about your opinion of ICE, or mine - I am asking about ethical frameworks in general, and GitHub's opinion. What is the ethical framework under which GitHub decided to offset the value of their contract?

I get your point now. Thanks for clarifying.
