JANUARY 23
ICE OUT: NATIONAL DAY OF TRUTH AND FREEDOM
On Thursday, January 8th, Customs and Border Patrol assaulted and kidnapped two US citizens while they were working a shift at the Richfield, MN Target store. On Sunday, January 11th, Customs and Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino entered the Midway Target in Saint Paul, MN, along with a team of agents to apparently film propaganda. Target is Minnesota’s leading corporate citizen. It is the 4th largest employer in the state. Minnesota’s sports teams play in stadiums and jerseys with Target’s logo on them. Where Target leads, others follow. Minnesota is under occupation from federal agents, and they are attacking people quite literally inside of Target stores. We need Target to stand with Minnesotans against these attacks.
Here's how you can take action:
Join our action at the Target by PDX! We're calling on SEIU members, labor, and community to come out and show support with Minnesota by demanding Target take a stand and stop collaborating with ICE.
Where: 9401 NE Cascades Pkwy
When: Friday, January 23, noon to 1pm
Or find a Target in your community: https://www.target.com/store-locator/store-directory.
You can download flyers explaining what's happening with Target and why we are taking a stand here.
You can download "No One is Safe Under ICE" signs here.

2.
Log onto the Target website. Find something inexpensive and in stock at your local store, like table salt, and add it to your cart. When you click online checkout, update your name under “Order pickup person”. The default will be your name, but you can edit this to say something about how ICE needs to leave Minnesota and Target must speak out.
Place your order, and then don’t go pick it up. Target has a policy where any orders not picked up after three days will be automatically refunded.
Repeat.
