L.A. Activists Call for 24-Hour Boycott of Companies Complicit in ICE Raids

In Los Angeles, activists are calling for a 24-hour boycott next Tuesday of Target, Walmart, McDonald’s and other companies they say are complicit in Trump’s mass deportation efforts. The boycott follows an ICE raid at a Home Depot parking lot this week. Angelica Salas is the executive director of the Coalition of Humane Immigrant Rights. Angelica Salas: “While we’re asking you not to participate and purchase in certain corporations that have been complicit in this enforcement, we’re also asking you to support street vendors and support immigrant businesses that are suffering right now in many of the neighborhoods in which many of these raids have happened. So we’re asking you to take action on the 12th [of August], to mobilize in the streets, to use your economic power, especially our immigrant construction workers, not to purchase at Home Depot on that day, and to send a message that we will not accept this terror on our community.”
