Activistas y legisladores piden a Home Depot que prohíba la entrada de agentes federales a sus tiendas

Activistas y legisladores pedimos a Home Depot que niegue la entrada de agentes federales a sus tiendas.

En una protesta frente a una tienda de Home Depot en el barrio de Belmont Cragin, activistas y funcionarios electos exigen a la empresa que revise sus políticas para proteger a los clientes, al personal y a los jornaleros de ser detenidos en la propiedad de la empresa. Los organizadores acusaron a Home Depot de no proteger a sus trabajadores y clientes de los agentes federales.

El Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE) ha apuntado a los jornaleros que buscan trabajo reuniéndose afuera de las tiendas Home Depot y otras tiendas de mejoras para el hogar. La empresa se ha lucido con los jornaleros durante 30 años, dijo Geovanni Celaya, organizador de trabajadores migrantes en el grupo Latino Union.

Celaya hizo demandas específicas a Home Depot, pidiendo que prohíba a los agentes federales entrar en su propiedad, cierre las puertas durante las redadas de inmigración, establezca una política sobre inmigración y agentes federales, apoye y provea recursos a las familias afectadas por las redadas en propiedad de Home Depot y publique las grabaciones de video de las cámaras de seguridad de esas redadas.

La representante estadounidense Delia Ramírez dijo que la empresa no trabaja con ICE, pero no puede detenerlos de entrar en sus tiendas. Calificó eso de "tonterías" y destacó que las empresas privadas tienen derecho a negar el servicio y el acceso a cualquiera.

La concejal Jessie Fuentes (26°) dijo que ella y otros organizadores y funcionarios electos están considerando si un boicot organizado a Home Depot sería efectivo, y dijo que está considerando una huelga general para protestar contra la administración de Trump y sus tácticas de inmigración.

I'm not buying it . These activists are asking Home Depot to play politics and deny entry to federal agents just because they don't like the way things are going down with immigration. Like, what's next? Are they gonna ask them to play a game of soccer with the protesters or something?

And can we talk about how ridiculous it is that these politicians are getting involved in this? I mean, Delia Ramírez says Home Depot can't just make up their own rules and close down when ICE shows up. But at the same time, she's not offering any real solutions to the problem... just a bunch of empty rhetoric.

And let's not forget about Jessie Fuentes' threat to stage a huelga general if things don't go her way. That's just crazy talk . It's like she thinks she can just shut down the whole city and make everyone else bow down to her demands. Newsflash, Jess: it doesn't work that way.

I'm all for protecting workers' rights and whatnot, but this is just a bunch of drama and posturing...

omg i cant even imagine walking into my school's bookstore and seeing ice agents lurking around anyway back to home depot... i think its kinda messed up that they're not doing more to protect their employees and customers from these raids as a student, i know how stressful it can be to worry about our own safety on campus, let alone when we're trying to get work or just hang out after school ️ what home depot needs to do is step up and create some policies that prioritize their workers' rights, like providing resources for their families if they are affected by these raids also, it would be awesome if they could publicly release those security footage recordings - that's like, basic transparency

Omg u guys , esta noticia es loca! Home Depot estará en el centro del escándalo porque los activistas y legisladores están pidiendo que nieguen la entrada a agentes federales a sus tiendas . Me parece que esto es una cuestión de derechos humanos , como que las personas no deben ser detenidas solo por ser jornaleros migrantes .

La empresa ha estado trabajando con estos trabajadores durante 30 años , así que ¿por qué la gobierno quiere interrumpir esto? La representante Delia Ramírez está diciendo que las empresas privadas tienen derecho a negar servicio y acceso a cualquiera , pero creo que esto es una forma de discriminación .

La idea de un boicot organizado a Home Depot o incluso una huelga general es interesante . Espero que algo cambie en la forma en que se manejan estas situaciones . La tecnología podría jugar un papel importante aquí, ¿qué tal si Home Depot utilizara inteligencia artificial para identificar y proteger a los empleados y clientes de las redadas?

home depot deberia hacer algo sobre esto, es como que estan permitiendo que agentes federales detengan a personas en su tienda los trabajadores migrantes solo quieren encontrar trabajo y apoyar a sus familias, pero la gente de ICE siempre está amenazando con arrestos y la policia se las arregla para no hacer nada

I'm seeing some weird stuff going on here . So, activist groups and lawmakers are demanding that Home Depot deny federal agents from entering their stores. They're saying it's to protect customers, employees, and day laborers from getting detained by ICE (which is crazy, considering Home Depot has hired undocumented immigrants for 30 years).

Now, I'm all about fairness and justice, but what really gets my attention is that some of these lawmakers are suggesting a boycott or even organizing a general strike to protest against Trump's immigration policies . I'm not sure if that's the most effective way to bring about change, but hey, at least they're trying.

Home Depot reps say they don't work with ICE, which is good, but still, it's gotta be confusing for customers when agents show up at their stores. I'd like to see some clearer policies in place from Home Depot on how to handle these situations, and also more support for the families affected by these raids . Overall, it's a complex issue, but I do think we need to find ways to balance business needs with social responsibility .

Ugh I am literally so done with this ... like, I get it, Home Depot is being super shady by not protecting their workers and customers from those evil ICE agents . But what's really getting my goat is that they're trying to play dumb and act like they can't control who enters their stores . Newsflash: you do have some say in the matter! I mean, come on Geovanni Celaya is right, it's not too much to ask for a simple policy change . And don't even get me started on Delia Ramírez saying that Home Depot can just ignore ICE ... like, no ma'am, that's not how it works! You gotta take responsibility for your own actions and put your money where your mouth is .

And can we talk about Jessie Fuentes for a sec? I love that she's considering a huelga general to protest against Trump's admin ... that's some serious solidarity right there . But let's get real, this isn't just about Home Depot or Trump or any of that drama ... it's about people's lives and safety . We need more folks like Jessie who are willing to stand up for what's right and fight for the little guy .

Anyway, I'm just gonna say it... Home Depot needs to step up their game and show some real love for their workers and customers . No more playing games or trying to cover your tracks . We deserve better !
