Advocates call for removal of machines and demand that company speak out against ICE raids in parking lots
A Home Depot in Los Angeles installed three high pitch noise-emitting machines outside to deter day laborers from seeking work there, causing them to suffer headaches and nausea, advocates alleged at a press conference on Wednesday.
The Instituto de Educacion Popular del Sur de California (IDEPSCA), an advocacy organization that helps day laborers, called for the removal of these machines from Home Depot’s Cypress Park location, according to the Los Angeles Times
Advocates for day laborers also demanded that Home Depot speak out against ICE raids in store parking lots. Immigration enforcement agents have repeatedly targeted the Cypress Park location, which is located near one of IDEPSCA’s support hubs, the Times reported.
I mean I hadn’t heard of the practice of hiring people from parking lots, yeah. That was sorta the whole reason I asked the comment section about it. But you are assuming everywhere must have the practice and people not knowing about it must be rich, not realizing not everywhere has that practice. (I mean tbh pretty sure you just assumed I was American, because of course)
I had limited experience and asked about it, you came in hot calling me names because you didn’t know better.
