In the wake of violent confrontations between federal agents and protesters over President Donald Trump’s immigration policy, corporate leaders are starting to do something they’ve rarely done in the first year of Trump 2.0: disagree with the president. CNBC’s Hugh Son and Melissa Repko take a look into why there’s a “climate of fear” among top CEOs when it comes to speaking up to Trump, what’s different about the Black Lives Matter movement and the protests against ICE and more.
