SAN FRANCISCO: Hundreds of Google employees on Aug 14 called on the Internet titan to avoid working for US immigration officials until they stop “engaging in human rights abuses”.

A petition signed by more than 600 “Googlers” as of late afternoon was prompted by word that US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) was preparing to request bids on a massive cloud computing contract.
