Defrost Home Depot took a stand today with a silent protest in the Riverdale Home Depot, site of a June 2025 raid that resulted in the arrest of six people.

Defrost Home Depot is partnering with an investment group that thinks Atlantans can make a real difference in their campaign to get Home Depot to break their contract with Flock Safety and make a public statement against ICE. We need YOU. 🫵 🧵

End license plate surveillance at Home Depot!

Follow @defrosthomedepot.bsky.social, the campaign working to get Home Depot to stock collaborating with ICE and using Flock. We’ll have some hands-on ways to help that have *real* leverage, coming soon.

I had such a wonderful time talking to the passionate people at @indivisibleatl.bsky.social today! They asked some of the best questions I've gotten in this campaign and I can't imagine a better group to fight fascism with. Be sure to give them and @defrosthomedepot.bsky.social a follow! #gapol

Every time you pull into a Home Depot parking lot, there’s a camera reading your license plate. The company hired a vendor called Flock Safety to install them. Flock’s network connects to federal authorities.

"Every time you pull into a Home Depot parking lot, there’s a camera reading your license plate... "Now, two shareholders are forcing the question that Home Depot’s board would rather not answer: Is this company helping immigration enforcement find its own customers?" @migrantinsider.bsky.social

Defrost Home Depot is an Atlanta-based, grassroots campaign. We want Flock cameras OUT of Home Depot parking lots. Flock cameras put customers, employees, and community members at risk of arrest by ICE!

Defrost Home Depot supports Emory's DeFlock effort! We want ICE out of Home Depot and that means Home Depot MUST cancel its contract with Flock!

The people of Dunwoody don’t want this contract! Americans don’t consent to Flock surveillance—in retail parking lots like Home Depot or in their cities. It’s time to stop forcing us to feed data into a system that supports ICE. We call on Home Depot to end its contract with Flock Safety!

Dunwoody has been thinking hard about breaking up with Flock. We’re calling on Home Depot to break up with Flock, too! (No, Flock doesn’t share data *directly* with ICE—but all those law enforcement agencies that contract with Flock make sure agents get whatever Flock data they want!)

It doesn’t matter how much The Home Depot denies it shares data w ICE or how often Flock reminds us they don’t contract w ICE. The system is set up so ICE has easy access to data collected by Flock cameras in THD parking lots and all over the US! (Also Fish & Wildlife Police are complicit now?!)

One of our demands for Home Depot is that they end their contract with Flock Safety. Customers, employees, day laborers, and community members should be able to visit a Home Depot parking lot without ICE having access to that information via a law enforcement information-sharing network!

Attention: Ted Decker, CEO - The Home Depot We send you a letter about your cooperation with ICE and you chose not to respond. We are asking for something simple, to start a conversation. It's a simple ask - listen to the concerns of the community you serve. We're waiting...

“Companies like Home Depot are complacent. They support policies and systems that criminalize innocent people, break families apart, and leave children alone in the streets after their parents have been detained," said Mildred Taylor, whose husband is being held in immigrant detention

Alternatively (as covered briefly in the article): Republicans have followed Trump's lead, refusing Democrats' compromise to fund the TSA while Democrats hold the line on demanding ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY action on ICE before fully funding the DHS.

TSA paychecks shouldn’t be hostage to ICE’s violence. TSA agents in the #FightingFifth are going unpaid & travelers are paying the price. Senate Republicans were ready to join Democrats to get TSA paid Trump BLOCKED the deal.   Pay TSA agents. Hold ICE accountable. The American people deserve both.

Join Rodney Taylor’s family outside the Atlanta ICE Field office for a rally and press conference, followed by the hand-delivery to ICE of a petition with 7,500+ signatures demanding an immediate halt to Rodney Taylor’s imminent deportation. Thurs, 3/26 (TOMORROW) 9-10:30am

“Companies like Home Depot are complacent. They support policies and systems that criminalize innocent people, break families apart, and leave children alone in the streets after their parents have been detained," said Mildred Taylor, whose husband is being held in immigrant detention

“It is shameful to see how corporations who rely on our Black and brown and immigrant working class communities for their consumption, for their money, and for their businesses, then turn on us and let ICE terrorize our hardworking day laborers at their parking lots,” said Alberto Feregrino.

NEW: Trump Has Detained the Parents of More Than 11,000 U.S. Citizen Kids A ProPublica analysis of new ICE data shows that Trump has detained parents of U.S. citizen children at about twice the rate that Biden did, and moms have been deported four times as often.

NEW: Today, Congressional Democrats are spotlighting a particularly troubling part of Trump's immigration dragnet: the American kids — including some featured in ProPublica's reporting — who have been collateral damage in the deportation campaign.
