Workers Urge Target And Firms To Speak Up Over ICE Raids. Workers at Target and other major Minnesota employers are urging clearer guidance from bosses on how to respond if U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers show up at worksites amid a broader immigration enforcement surge in Minneapolis. Staff fear the crackdown puts them at risk on the job and want companies to take a stronger public stance. The pressure intensified after federal agents detained two Target employees at a store in the Twin Cities earlier this month, incidents that sparked internal letters from employees calling on leadership to speak out and keep ICE officers off company property. More than 60 business leaders from Minnesota firms, including Target, Best Buy and other major employers, signed an open letter calling for “de‑escalation of tensions” and cooperation among government officials, though the letter stopped short of directly criticising ICE’s enforcement tactics. Experts say the legal ability of companies to limit access by federal agents is unclear, and some workers have criticised Target’s public response as too cautious. Staff want clearer protocols to protect employees and customers if immigration agents arrive.
