Target employees’ complaints go beyond response to ICE A letter hundreds of Target employees sent to company leaders today condemning "continued silence" amid the ongoing ICE operation in the state also cites a long list of previous incidents that “have left many rightfully concerned" for the company’s “integrity.” The letter cites Minneapolis-based Target scaling back its pride collection; winding down diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives; donating $1million to President Donald Trump’s inauguration fund; and failing to act following the reported arrest of two employees in a Richfield store. “Strength comes in open solidarity, and the leaders of Target still have the chance to do the right thing,” the letter said. “The Twin Cities and Target team members already stand together, but leadership must act now.” Carson Hartzog contributed to this report.
