On November 25, 2018, US border agents discharged tear gas on hundreds of Central American asylum seekers and migrants, including children. Multiple on-site reporters have shared that the tear gas canisters used are branded by "Safariland", a corporation owned by Warren B. Kanders, a vice chairman at the Whitney Museum of American Art. More than 100 staffers at the Whitney Museum have signed a letter demanding acknowledgment from the Whitney’s board, the considering of Kanders’ resignation, a museum-wide forum for employees to discuss related policy issues, and the creation of a clear policy for trustees going forward. We invited the Whitney Museum to comment on the demands raised by staff; it did not.
