TL:DR; The Salesforce CEO at a company's annual all hands gathering asked international employees to please rise in the audience, then made a "joke" that ICE agents were in the back of the room ready to nab them.

There is someone on his staff -- probably multiple people -- who get paid to tell him not to say that
Had the guy I was speechwriting for ever slipped in something even *one tenth* as awful as that, I would have fired myself
And not just because it would have woken me up to who/what I was working for, but also because I would have considered myself a failure at my job
Just... holy shit
What a fucking monster

I remember the closing lines of the NYT piece on the same subject:
At the end of the interview, [Benioff] turned to a public relations executive. He could be heard asking why her mouth was wide open and if he had said anything he shouldn’t have.
“What about the political questions?” he asked. “Too spicy?”
Then he hung up.
