Unionized game workers under UVW-CWA have launched the 'We Don't Play With ICE' petition, calling on game industry employers to commit to being Fourth Amendment workplaces. The campaign demands that employers refuse to cooperate with ICE agents unless presented with a judicial warrant signed by a judge. Launched at GDC Festival of Gaming 2026, the initiative aims to protect immigrant workers amid the Trump administration's mass deportation campaign, which has led to thousands of arrests and detentions. UVW-CWA president Aurelia Augusta emphasized that immigrants are game workers too and that the petition is a small ask—simply to follow the existing U.S. Constitution.
