L.A. Immigrant Advocates Hold Boycotts to Protest Corporate Collusion with ICE

HeadlineAug 13, 2025

In Los Angeles, a coalition of labor and immigrant rights organizations held a series of boycotts and protests Tuesday against corporations like Walmart, Home Depot and Target, which activists say are complicit in Trump’s mass deportation efforts. Martin Manteca is an organizer with the California Gig Workers Union.

Martin Manteca: “Trump and his administration continue to break the law. They are the ones breaking the law, ignoring the judge’s decision and continuing to kidnap people. So, we’re going to resist, because we are on the right side of history, and we want everyone not to be afraid, not to go into hiding, but to come out in the streets, live your lives, go to work and fight back.” 

The 24-hour boycott came after intensifying immigration raids at Home Depots and other locations that are known gathering places for day laborers.
