SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Rallies in opposition to the presence of federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers at Home Depot stores will take place today across San Diego county, organizers said.
Officials with the National Day Laborer Organizing Network are "calling on the company to condemn ICE activities at their properties, and stop immigration enforcement actions at these and all locations," according to a statement.
The group said local civic advocacy groups, including Indivisible chapters, community members, immigrant rights advocates and workers will participate Saturday.
Organizers have accused ICE agents of targeting day laborers "in Home Depot parking lots across the country, detaining and deporting workers who are seeking employment," according to NDLON. "Advocates describe the situation as a growing human rights crisis occurring on Home Depot property and are calling on the company's corporate leadership to take clear, public action."
Rally participants will urging Home Depot to:
--publicly condemn ICE raids conducted on its store properties;
--prohibit federal immigration enforcement from using its parking lots
to pursue day laborers; and

for all people, regardless of immigration status,'' the group said.
