Get ICE out of Home Depot Natick
January 10 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm EST
We’re standing out at the Natick Home Depot entrance, sending a clear message to stop allowing ICE raids on their property and to boycott shopping there!
All over the country, ICE agents are targeting immigrants in and around Home Depot, and these atrocities are happening on Home Depot’s watch, on its properties, with its silence.
The Home Depot has not publicly resisted or condemned these raids or demanded that the Administration stop assaulting and abducting people on and outside its properties. With its silence and inaction, Home Depot has become ICE’s passive partner.
