New York, June 25 (RHC)-- Technology company Microsoft is facing threats of a boycott over its collaboration with ICE, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.  

In recent days, a blog post from January resurfaced, in which Microsoft said it is “proud to support” ICE and that Microsoft’s technology can help the agency “accelerate facial recognition and identification.”

In response to the on-line outrage and boycott threats, the company said: “Microsoft is dismayed by the forcible separation of children from their families at the border.”
