Target Corporation faces increasing pressure from activists and employees. They demand the company take a public stance against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations. Target is headquartered in Minnesota.
Hundreds of Target workers signed a letter to corporate leadership. The letter criticizes the company's silence on the issue. This action is part of a broader protest that included an economic blackout on January 23.
The actions target several large corporations in the state. Organizers demand these companies cease economic activity with ICE and bar the agency from their premises. Organizers previously initiated boycotts against the retailer for other social and political stances.
Target has not yet issued a public response to the employees' letter or the activists' demands.
