ICE Enforcement at Home Depot Parking Lots Sparks Investor Concerns
Immigrant rights activists allege that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has systematically targeted Home Depot parking lots as hotspots for immigration enforcement. Home Depot shares (NYSE:HD) dipped slightly in Friday morning trading as the news unsettled investors.
Reports indicate ICE operations are focusing on undocumented individuals, including those without criminal records, despite official assurances to the contrary. The agency's Chicago deportation branch clarified its 'Operation Midway Blitz' isn't specifically aimed at Home Depot, but acknowledges all undocumented persons are subject to removal.
