Fine, so the voters of California should start voiding the corporate charters of companies that engage with ICE, PRC, etc. I'm cool with that, too, but I suspect that simply putting pressure monetarily is a much more accurate and flexible banhammer to swing.
Corporations ARE political entities--at the state level, to boot. It's only recently that "corporations solely exist to make profit for shareholders" has perniciously taken root. Corporations used to have to at least acknowledge "the public good" in order to get a charter. People have forgotten this.

Perhaps it's time to bring it back.
