Workers Urge Target, Other Firms to Address ICE Enforcement Risks
Staff are urging firms to clarify protocols for handling visits by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and to take steps to limit officers’ access to stores and parking areas.
The concerns have been especially pronounced at Target, a prominent national retailer, after two employees were detained last month at a suburban Minneapolis store.
Following the incident, over 300 employees signed an internal letter urging company executives to speak out and implement measures to keep ICE agents off company properties.
Target cashier Sandra Macmillan, 71, resigned last month after watching videos showing masked officers pinning the two employees to the ground at the store entrance and pushing them into a vehicle while one shouted, "I'm literally a US citizen." Macmillan said, "I looked online and saw no response from Target. There was no acknowledgement whatsoever." She described the episode as "the last straw" after having worked for Target in Texas since 2021.
