Activists say the retailer has met with clergy but not spoken out against ICE or safeguarded employees and customers
While thousands of protesters marched through downtown Minneapolis yesterday to demand that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents leave the city, a smaller group of activists set their sights on a specific destination: the downtown headquarters of national retailer Target.
Dozens of clergy members and their supporters planted themselves in the atrium of the store. “Say it loud and say it clear, immigrants are welcome here,” the group chanted. “Something ’bout this isn’t right – why does Target work for ICE?”
