Billie Little filed suit in an Oregon court saying she was fired on March 20 because she reported her belief that Thomson Reuters had been helping U.S. immigration authorities use information gathered by its data-brokering service in ways that violated the law. 404 Media first reported on the case against the Toronto-headquartered news and information company. Thomson Reuters didn’t respond by deadline to The Logic’s request for comment, but told the Financial Times it disputes the allegations and intends to defend itself. (404 Media, Financial Times)

Talking point: Little’s filing acknowledges she did more than raise concerns—she led an internal campaign that ultimately involved hundreds of employees. (The specific Thomson Reuters data product that ICE uses has creeped people out before, leading to a US$27.5-million class-action settlement.) Meanwhile, the B.C. General Employees’ Union filed a shareholder resolution Wednesday asking Thomson Reuters to carry out an ”independent human rights impact assessment” of how its tools are used by ICE and other law enforcement agencies.
