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.

      Not the rich kid. More like the government/republikidfucker plant. Notice how every post he made has some mentioning of under the table or off the books or without a permit? He’s trying to get ideas planted about how these workers are shoddy and doing illegal things and undercutting real, licensed, above board workers.

        Funny how some of you think it’s more likely I’m some government spy instead of not being an American. Get your head out of your ass, the rest of the world exists too.

      Why do you think I’m a rich kid? I work construction myself. And not the lucrative work either
