I.C.E out of Home Depot – Protesting Home Depot

Protesters are calling on Home Depot to take a clear stand: Publicly oppose ICE raids conducted on or near its properties. Adopt policies that protect day laborers from being targeted in its parking lots. Affirm that its stores will not be complicit — directly or indirectly — in actions that undermine constitutional rights. This is not a partisan issue. It is a moral one. When armed federal agents operate in our communities in ways that raise credible questions about excessive force, lack of transparency, or constitutional violations, silence is not neutrality — it is permission.

Here in Placer County, we believe in the Constitution. We believe in due process. We believe no one should be subjected to violence or intimidation without accountability. And we believe local leaders have both the authority and the responsibility to speak up when federal actions threaten the safety and rights of the people they represent.

Our protest is about drawing a clear line: We reject fear as a governing strategy. We reject the normalization of warrantless intrusions and excessive force. We reject the idea that defending constitutional rights makes someone “anti-American.” The first step is simple and powerful: our local elected officials should publicly declare that civil rights violations are not welcome here.

By showing up together outside Home Depot, we send two messages: Corporations must not look the other way when civil liberties are at stake. Our community stands united in defense of democracy and the rule of law. This moment demands courage — from companies, from elected leaders, and from us. Join us. Stand for the Constitution. Stand for accountability. Stand for the values that define who we are. Yours in unity and resolve, Jeanette Stringham
