A group calling itself Restore Public Trust is pressing Fortune 500 firms to engage in a hiring blacklisting of officials linked to President Donald Trump’s immigration policies.

“Many of you spoke out against this barbaric policy. However strong the opposition, your words are meaningless unless they are backed up with resolute action,” said a letter from the group promoting its “Trump Administration Separation” campaign.

“We call on you to make it clear that you will not hire for employment, contract for consulting, or seat on your boards, anyone involved in the development or implementation of the Trump administration’s family separation immigration policy,” the letter said.

The letter was signed by several liberal groups including the Southern Poverty Law Center, Moms Rising, American Bridge, and Allied Progress, columnist Paul Bedard noted for the Washington Examiner on April 5.

The group names several officials including White House press secretary Sarah Sanders, chief immigration aide Stephen Miller, and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. Also mentioned are former Attorney General Jeff Sessions and his former spokeswoman, Sarah Isgur Flores, who is now at CNN.

Restore Public Trust also took out an advertisement in The New York Times calling for the blacklisting. The ad was headlined: “Attention corporate America: Don’t let hate into your boardroom”.
