This morning, just after noon, five ICE agents abducted one of my community members from the Fridley target on central avenue.
What is especially heinous about this particular abduction is the fact that at that exact same moment, another community members was on the phone with the manager of the store expressing their concern that ICE has been preparing for their abductions in the lot behind the store.
This community member was begging the manager not to allow this while someone was snatched outside, doing their grocery shopping. And do you know what that store manager said?
"Call corporate." So, that's what we're going to do. We're going to call corporate: +1-800-440-0680.
All of us who have five minutes to spare, we're going to get on our phones and call their offices. Might not even taken you five minutes.
Ask them what their policy is. See if they are brave enough to make a statement. But most of all, let them know that the communities they serve are watching.
