I was supposed to interview a managing partner at @McKinsey about women in the workplace. Critical topic. But now – minutes before we were supposed to walk on stage - I’m pulling out.
Why? Because it’s not OK to talk out of both sides of your mouth. And, it’s personal.

@McKinsey I’m a business journalist. My dad’s life crumbled in a decade-long deportation case. I worked with more than 1,000 detainees – decent people, trying to support families.
Meanwhile McKinsey has been advising ICE on how to feed immigrants (like Dad) less and deport them faster.

Managing partner Kevin Sneader covered up the firm’s role in architecting ICE’s mass deportation system. He misled his staff in an email in 2018:

@McKinsey @NYT @propublica FOIA and interviews reveal @McKinsey proposed cuts in spending on food and medical care for detainees. Post 9-11, I petitioned ICE to get food and medical care to detainees.

@McKinsey @NYT @propublica @NPR Legally, detention is a “civil” hold. It’s not supposed to be punitive. But it is. And McKinsey consultants proposed to make it more so.
I wonder if the firm includes human and civil rights experts. (I don’t really wonder about that.)

@McKinsey @NYT @propublica @NPR The @McKinsey recs were so aggressive, ICE staffers pushed back. There were “heated meetings.”
Close your eyes and imagine: people committed to exiling the immigrant moms and dads of American children were telling the management consultants that THEY are going too far.

@McKinsey @NYT @propublica @NPR ICE was very happy with @McKinsey services.
Btw, removing “aliens with a final order” often means throwing an immigrant on a plane before s/he can exercise due process rights in federal court.

@McKinsey @NYT @propublica @NPR About tonight’s event: McKinsey interviewed more than a quarter million people and found that the biggest barrier for women at work isn’t getting into the c-suite. It is getting into any management position at all. “Broken rung” a bigger problem than “glass ceiling.” News to me.
@McKinsey @NYT @propublica @NPR Also, I wanted to ask about @Facebook. COO Sheryl Sandberg’s Leanin.org was involved in the survey. So, while her philanthropic wing is talking the talk, her for-profit tech giant is, well, not really hiring women…

@McKinsey @NYT @propublica @NPR @facebook @McKinsey staff (including my friends): Your boss should not have lied to you. The truth matters. So do families. If you’re unfamiliar w ICE, you can read my memoir. I cried nonstop writing it, making sense of how Dad got cast as a “criminal alien” and my life turned upside down.
