Quick Glance: Google terminates 28 employees after office occupation due to anti-Israel protests
- Google terminated 28 employees on Thursday who had occupied its offices to protest against contracts with the Israeli government, as confirmed by a Google spokesperson.
- The protesters were arrested and after refusing to leave the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian in Sunnyvale or the workspace in New York City for nearly 10 hours, they were transferred to administrative positions to urge Google to terminate the Project Nimbus contract and cease business with the Israeli government.
- No Tech For Apartheid, a project by Jewish Voice for Peace and Linda Sarsour’s MPower Change, described the terminations as an "indiscriminate act of mass retaliation."
- The office occupations at Google were accompanied by demonstrations on-site and in Seattle, aiming to compel Google to withdraw from the project to establish cloud-based data centers and transition a significant portion of the Israeli government's IT infrastructure to cloud-based servers.

Quick Glance: Legal Action Following Survival of Mass Shooting at Northern California Mushroom Farm
- A migrant farmworker who endured the traumatic experience of a mass shooting at a Northern California mushroom farm has initiated legal steps against the farm and one of the owners, alleging their failure to protect him from the colleague implicated in the killings by authorities.
- Pedro Romero Perez, 24, was inside a shipping container serving as a home for him and his brother when the tragic incident occurred at California Terra Gardens in Half Moon Bay. Chunli Zhao intruded and opened fire, resulting in the death of Jose Romero Perez and Pedro being shot five times, including once in the face.

It is asserted that the company failed to implement protective measures for the workers after a prior shooting involving a former manager on the premises in July 2022.
