How retail giant Home Depot is preparing employees for ICE raids
Briefly

The recent ICE raids targeting immigrants have significantly affected businesses, notably Home Depot, where day laborers were arrested outside a store in a Latino community. In reaction, Home Depot implemented new protocols for employees, instructing them on how to navigate potential ICE encounters while prioritizing their safety. Workers disturbed by the raids are permitted to leave for the day with pay, though this is not a widespread policy. As deportation actions escalate, other businesses may follow suit in establishing similar guidelines for their employees.
In response to ICE raids, Home Depot provided guidance to employees about safety and reporting incidents, allowing employees disturbed by raids to leave with pay.
As ICE sweeps are likely to intensify, companies, including Home Depot, are creating policies to handle ICE interactions to ensure worker safety and compliance.
