Minneapolis:
Target Workers Assaulted by ICE

Jan 19, 2026

The day after Renee Macklin Good’s murder in Minneapolis, two young Target workers, working drive-up, saw border patrol chief Greg Bovino and a dozen or more of his ICE goons rolling up on their store. The two workers both pulled out their phones, commenting that Bovino’s troops were blocking traffic and making clear they detested the ICE occupation. One of the officers then took down one of the young men in the entryway to the Target store and then bundled him into a dark SUV. The video of the incident was posted to Department of Homeland Security’s X account, alongside a caption: “This individual was arrested for assaulting federal law enforcement officers.”

The video shows clearly: the two use no violence against the officers, they neither “resist” nor “impede” them in their duties. It’s obvious that the officers’ “duty” in this case was to beat up and brutalize people in Minneapolis—part of a campaign of domestic state terrorism, in this case because these two workers aired an opinion.

One worker was driven several miles away and released in a Walmart parking lot, the other held briefly in a detention center. Both are citizens. As of this writing, the government has not tried to charge either with a crime.

Target workers in Minnesota and the region have called on the company to speak out against the government campaign. Target HR has only told workers “not to provoke” federal agents, and that they have access to any public areas of its stores. Management worries more about “its brand” than its workers. Target workers have been raising a stink, both about ICE and their management!
