Anti-ICE activists hold Home Depot business operations hostage with disruptive ice-scraper stunt
The 'buy in' leads to clogged lines at the Southern California store.
A "buy-in" protest against federal immigration operations at Home Depot has led to clogged lines at a store in Southern California, where a man allegedly being chased by officials was killed after running onto a freeway.
About a hundred protesters stood in line to buy one item, an ice scraper, at the store in Monrovia and then waited in line to return the item, worth about 17 cents, according to a Los Angeles Times report.
'Buy it and try to collapse their system for a moment, or for some time, with the group of people that are witnessing and are willing to stay, to stand up for the human rights of day laborers.'
Home Depot has denied involvement in the operations, but the company's critics say that Home Depot is not doing enough to protect customers and employees from Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
A spokesperson for Home Depot sent a brief comment to Blaze News via email about the protest.
