- The money is believed to be part of the $1 million pledged to help immigrant families affected by Trump's immigration policies
- The non-profit group says that it won't accept the money until Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff cancels its contracts with Customers and Border Protection.
Enterprise-software giant Salesforce.com offered to donate $250,000 to a group that provides legal services to immigrants but the non-profit refused to accept the money until Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff agrees to “cancel all direct or indirect contracts with Customs and Border Protection (CBP).”
Jonathan Ryan, executive director of The Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services (RAICES), responded via email on Monday to Salesforce's donation offer. A copy of Ryan’s email was reviewed by Business Insider. See the rest of the story at Business Insider
