Today's Poll: Is Boycotting Big Tech an Effective Way to Protest ICE Policies?

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: "Are major tech companies an appropriate target for those protesting ICE policies?" Michael examines a growing protest strategy urged by NYU Professor Scott Galloway: a coordinated, month-long boycott of dominant tech companies to pressure the Trump administration over immigration enforcement. The episode explores the logic behind targeting market leaders like Amazon, Apple, Google, and Microsoft—even when they have no direct ties to ICE—versus companies that actively contract with the agency. Smerconish weighs the effectiveness, fairness, and consequences of using economic leverage as political protest, while revisiting the dangers of overheated rhetoric in the immigration debate and asking whether market disruption is a meaningful path to change.
