In short, Microsoft is now doing for ICE what they were doing for Israel in 2024-2025 to support the genocide:

‘The machine did it coldly’: Israel used AI to identify 37,000 Hamas targets -- The Guardian

‘A million calls an hour’: Israel relying on Microsoft cloud for expansive surveillance of Palestinians -- The Guardian

Revealed: Microsoft deepened ties with Israeli military to provide tech support during Gaza war -- The Guardian

Note: these are all Graun links because they are what I had in my browser history and because they specifically made a point of looking into it, as opposed to other major news outlets. I'm sure there are other sources as well, I just didn't look for any.
