A “buy-in” protest against federal immigration operations at Home Depot led to clogged lines at a Southern California store where a man was killed after running onto a freeway. About a hundred protesters stood in line to buy an ice scraper, then waited to return it worth 17 cents. The protest was organized by the National Day Laborer Organizing Network, who said Home Depot has become ground zero for cruel immigration enforcement. Home Depot denied involvement, stating they follow all federal and local regulations. Video showed protesters with signs criticizing Home Depot. The protest lasted an hour before protesters marched through the store, leading to workers closing it down. Some called for a boycott against Home Depot over ICE operations.
