It's illegal to hire people or refuse to hire people based on political beliefs or affiliation, so you're not gonna have companies that only employ Trump supporters or employ no Trump supporters. Politics is considered a protected group wrt employment law in the USA and many countries.

It's not like it's difficult to gauge employee sentiment about ICE. If your employees are strongly against it, then you simply don't enter the competition for ICE contracts, or you choose to not renew the contracts when they expire.
