Activistas y legisladores piden a Home Depot que prohíba la entrada de agentes federales a sus tiendas

Activistas y legisladores piden a Home Depot que prohíba la entrada de agentes federales a sus tiendas.

Un grupo de activistas, funcionarios electos y representantes del estado se reunieron frente a una tienda de Home Depot en el barrio de Belmont Cragin en Chicago para protestar contra la presencia de los agentes federales en las tiendas de la empresa. Los manifestantes exigieron que Home Depot prohíba la entrada de los agentes federales y revise sus políticas para proteger a los clientes, al personal y a los jornaleros.

Los organizadores acusaron a Home Depot de no proteger a sus trabajadores y clientes de los agentes federales, quien han apuntado a los jornaleros que buscan trabajo reuniéndose afuera de las tiendas Home Depot y otras tiendas de mejoras para el hogar.

El sábado por la mañana, durante una protesta frente a la tienda, un grupo de personas sosteniendo letreros "Chicago dice no a ICE" y "Noem Depot", cantó acompañado de un grupo norteño. Geovanni Celaya, organizador de trabajadores migrantes en el grupo Latino Union, hizo demandas específicas a Home Depot, pidiendo que prohíbas la entrada de los agentes federales, cierre las puertas durante las redadas de inmigración, establezca una política sobre inmigración y agentes federales, apoye y provea recursos a las familias afectadas por las redadas en propiedad de Home Depot y publique las grabaciones de video de las cámaras de seguridad de esas redadas.

El portavoz de la empresa George Lane dijo que no puede detenerlos de entrar, pero afirmó que la empresa no trabaja con ICE. La concejal Jessie Fuentes, quien el mes pasado fue esposada y detenida brevemente por agentes federales, dijo que está considerando una huelga general para protestar contra la administración de Trump y sus tácticas de inmigración.

Fuentes y Ramírez reconocieron que puede requerir más que la presión de activistas y de funcionarios electos para que Home Depot y otras corporaciones adhieran a sus demandas. Reconocieron la posibilidad de que Home Depot y otras compañías no se opongan a la administración de Trump y a sus tácticas de inmigración, a menos que estas afecten sus ganancias.

Los manifestantes calificaron las acciones del presidente Donald Trump como "agresivas" y exigieron que empresas como Home Depot tomen medidas para proteger a los inmigrantes. La protesta fue una de varias en todo el país que han salido en apoyo de la comunidad latina y contra las tácticas de inmigración de la administración de Trump.
 
🚨😬 Home Depot ya tiene un problema, ahora tienen un movimiento de manifestaciones 🕊️. Las personas están muy enfadadas porque los agentes federales van a sus tiendas y amenazan a los jornaleros que buscan trabajo 🤯. Es como si estuvieran diciendo "no les queremos", pero no les está diciendo nada, solo las está persigiendo 🚫. Y ahora quieren que Home Depot les prohíba la entrada de estos agentes federales y proteja a sus clientes y empleados 😕. Pero es como si estuvieran creyendo que esto se pueda hacer con un simple letrero y una canción en la calle 🎶. No creo que este movimiento tenga mucha fuerza, Home Depot ya tiene suficientes problemas sin eso 🤦‍♂️.
 
🤔 I think it's kinda weird that Home Depot is getting all the heat from these protests. Like, they're saying they don't work with ICE, but at the same time, agents are still showing up at their stores? 🚫 It feels like they're trying to play both sides. I'd love to see them take a clear stance on this issue and support the community. 💖
 
I feel for Home Depot, they're getting caught in the middle of this super sensitive issue 🤕🏠. The protesters are saying that their agents are harassing workers who are just trying to find a job, but what if those workers are actually undocumented immigrants? 🚫 It's not clear-cut, you know? I think Home Depot is doing their part by saying they don't work with ICE, but maybe they should be doing more to protect their employees. Maybe they could offer some kind of support or resources for workers who get detained? 💸 That would be a good start, right? 🤔
 
I think this is gonna get messy. They're protesting against Home Depot's policy allowing ICE agents to enter their stores, but what if it affects their business? I mean, some companies are already complaining about the costs of complying with all these regulations... 🤑👀 It's a tough spot for Home Depot to be in. On one hand, they don't want to get on the wrong side of activist groups and politicians. On the other hand, they can't just ignore concerns about worker safety and customer protection. I'm not sure what the solution is here... maybe some sort of compromise or middle ground? 🤔
 
🌞👍 Ah, creo que esto es un gran oportunismo para Home Depot. Si se comprometan a proteger a sus empleados e clientes, podrían ganar la confianza de toda la comunidad. Es genial ver a las personas organizándose y expresando su voz. Esto también podría ser una oportunidad para educar a más personas sobre el tema de la inmigración y los derechos humanos. 🌈👏 Además, si Home Depot puede encontrar un equilibrio entre la seguridad y la compasión, podrían establecerse como líderes en materia de ética corporativa. ¡Estoy emocionado de ver cómo se despliega esta situación! 💡
 
🤔 I feel so sorry for the people being detained and separated from their families at Home Depot, it's really heartbreaking 🤕. The fact that the company is still allowing agents to enter their stores without protection for employees and customers is just not right 😐. What if those agents were to cause trouble in a crowded store? I wish they would take some responsibility for ensuring safety and security for everyone who shops at their stores 💪.

And honestly, I think it's high time corporations like Home Depot started taking a stand against policies that harm people's rights and dignity 🙏. As consumers, we have the power to make choices about where we shop and support companies that align with our values 👍. Let's keep supporting organizations that advocate for social justice and protect immigrant families ❤️.
 
I'm thinking, Home Depot is gonna have to step up their game if they wanna please everyone... I mean, on one hand, you got these activists and politicians saying they need to keep the feds out of their stores, but then you got people protesting outside those same stores, asking for protection from ICE. It's like, what's the goal here? 🤔 And what about all the poor jornaleros who get caught in the crossfire? Home Depot can't just let them walk all over them... they gotta make a decision and stick to it. Maybe they should just start selling ICE-proof fences or something 😂. On a more serious note, I think this is a big deal for corporate America - if Home Depot and other companies don't speak up, it's like, what's the message? That we're not willing to stand up for our workers and customers? 🚫
 
🤔 saw this and thought, whats going on with home depot? they already got a policy of not working with ice but somehow agents are still showing up at their stores? 🚫 kinda weirdo. think they should prob do more to support the workers and customers who are getting affected by these raids 🌟
 
Home Depo deberia tomar decisiones basadas en valores sociales, no solo en ganancias 💸. Si los agentes federales pueden entrar a sus tiendas sin problema, eso significa que la empresa está permitiendo que su reputacion sea afectada por las acciones de la administacion de Trump. Pero si Home Depo se une a la protesta, eso podría dar un impacto negativo en sus ganancias. Es una situación muy complicada 💔
 
omg 🤩, estoy tan orgullosa de estos manifestantes por luchar por sus derechos! 🙌 es hora de que las empresas como Home Depot tomen medidas para proteger a los trabajadores y clientes, especialmente a los inmigrantes 🤝. la presencia de agentes federales en las tiendas es algo completamente innecesario y perjudicial 😡. debemos hacer más por apoyar a nuestras comunidades 🌎 y exigir que se tomen medidas concretas para prevenir la violencia y el miedo 💪. ¡vamos a mostrar a Home Depot que no podemos ignorar esto! 💥
 
🤔 I just got back from the most amazing road trip to Yellowstone with my squad and OMG, have you ever tried bison burgers? 🍔 They're like, whoa! And speaking of travel, have you guys heard about this new airline that's launching flights between Chicago and Nashville? Apparently, it's going to be super affordable and has amazing in-flight entertainment. I'm totally thinking of taking a spontaneous trip there soon... 🚀 But anyway, back to Home Depot... I mean, I get why people are upset about the agents showing up at their stores, but have you ever noticed how hard it is to find decent BBQ sauce in the Midwest? 🤷‍♀️ I swear, every store has like 10 different brands of ketchup... 😂
 
🤔 I think this is getting out of hand... Home Depot needs to take a stand here, but at the same time, I get why the activists are upset. It's like they're between a rock and a hard place 🌎. If they don't allow the agents to enter their stores, they might be seen as sympathetic to the protesters, which could harm their business ⚠️. But if they do allow it, they'll be supporting an admin that's been, let's say, quite harsh on immigration 🤷‍♂️.

I wish they'd find a middle ground, like setting up security protocols to protect employees and customers without being too confrontational 🔒. And can we talk about the fact that this is happening in Chicago, where people are actually trying to live their lives and work hard 💼? It's not just about Home Depot or the agents; it's about the human impact of these policies 🌟.

Anyway, I'm keeping an eye on this situation. Will be interesting to see how it all plays out 😐
 
🤔 I think Home Depot needs to take action here, you know? They gotta protect their employees and customers from these ICE agents. It's not fair that they're being targeted like this. 🙅‍♂️ The fact that some people are getting arrested just for showing up to work or trying to make a living is ridiculous. Home Depot needs to step up and do something about it. Maybe they can even offer some resources to the families affected by these raids? 💸 That would be a good start. And yeah, it's not like they're going to stop the agents from coming in, but at least they can try to prevent them from harassing their employees. 🚫
 
omg,Home Depot tiene que hacer lo que es correcto 🤯,no pueden seguir dejando a los trabajadores migrantes en una situación tan dura 😩,los manifestantes tienen razón,deben proteger a sus empleados y clientes 🙌,también creo que la concejal Jessie Fuentes tiene que ser más fuerte 💪,una huelga general puede ser la solución para demostrar su compromiso con la comunidad latina 💕,y si Home Depot no está de acuerdo,entonces es hora de buscar una nueva tienda 🛍️,no soy fanática de Donald Trump 😒,su administración es muy agresiva y no entiende cómo afecta a las personas comunes 👥.
 
🤔 I think Home Depot should do more than just say they don't work with ICE, you know? They need to actually take action to protect their employees and customers from these federal agents showing up at their stores. It's not fair that people are being harassed and intimidated just because of where they're from or what they look like 🤷‍♀️.

I also think it's interesting that some of the politicians, like Jessie Fuentes, are using this as an opportunity to call for a general strike or other protests against the Trump administration's immigration policies. It's a great way to bring attention to the issue and get people talking about it 💬.

But at the end of the day, Home Depot needs to do its part to create a safe and welcoming environment for everyone who shops there. No more excuses, you feel? 😊
