While I see your point, and have some very mixed feelings on this whole subject, I'm not sure that enterprise sales and negotiation should be seen as a political move rather than just part of how this sort of business works.

What is the difference between actively pursuing sales with ICE and companies selling arms to Saudi Arabia or investing in Saudi oil, or actively pursuing sales with China such that the NBA apologizes for pro HK messaging from a player and Overwatch stripped all winnings from a winner of a tournament for pro HK messaging?

As I said, I am not expressing an opinion on how right or wrong it is to sell to ICE, simply that the _discount_ is probably not a political move, just regular enterprise software sales where a bulk discount is common.
