If you go the GitHub page and read the open letter they are not trying to stop ICE from pursuing its job. They are simply asking GitHub to cancel it's contract with ICE because it does not represent the values of its employees and consider profiting from it to be reprehensible.
Employees, as stakeholders, have a right to hold the company to personal standards, but I strongly believe that the general public does not. I'm nearly certain that we here are all general public.
EDIT: I understand that as customers we are also stackholders, but ICE is a custom also. I, as a customer, do not want to see GitHub become choosy about what code they host. Even if North Korea hosts code on GitHub I will not be upset. I just don't know what qualifies GitHub or internet activists to determine what's right or wrong, regardless of my position.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
