I guess this is the reason lot of corporates try to stay out of politics. Because once you set a precedence then people will use that as to push their own political agendas. I personally don't like the slippery slope argument since it's very lazy and justifies inaction in many cases. But at the same time when I see news like this, I just wonder how long it will take two different subgroups trying push their own conflicting agendas and how the company should react in such a case.

This isn't people pushing their own political agenda; this is a consequence of the political stance they took. When a company takes a political stance, they should be held accountable for it.

How is protesting against police brutality is same as protesting against ICE? That sounds like partisanship. If you support one issue then you will also have to support other issues.

ICE inflicts something that seems an awful lot like police brutality on a large number of people. The Kafkaesque horrorshow that legal asylum seekers are subjected to is one of them. The conditions in which they hold people, in general, is another.

The lies and high pressure tactics they use to force people to sign away their rights are also concerning.
