Target employees are stepping in where the company won't, as an ICE crackdown grips Minneapolis

"Suzie lifted the box of diapers from her trunk and glanced down the street to be sure she hadn't been followed. It was a bright Thursday afternoon, and her boots crunched across the icy Minneapolis pavement as she crossed to the curtain-drawn house of a Target coworker. The street was quiet. It was just a few blocks from where Renee Good, a mother of three, was shot and killed by an ICE agent three weeks earlier."

"Suzie is a 15-year Target employee who works in merchandising at its downtown headquarters. Now, she's also part of an informal mutual-aid network that has emerged among the company's corporate workforce as Minneapolis - where Target is one of the largest employers - has become ground zero for the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. She doesn't consider herself an activist. 'It's just neighbors taking care of neighbors,' she said."

A Target employee secretly delivered diapers to a Latina coworker who was too afraid to enter stores after an ICE agent fatally shot a Minneapolis mother. Corporate employees have formed an informal mutual-aid network, taking precautions like avoiding location tracking and using roundabout routes. Thousands of Minneapolis residents, including Target workers, have marched, offered help to neighbors, and stood watch in freezing temperatures. Employees have used internal Slack channels to press company leadership and hundreds sent an open letter criticizing perceived company inaction and warning it increases workplace risk and represents a moral failure.
