Another day, another far-left protest spiraling into chaos—this time inside a Target store in St. Paul, Minnesota. Anti-ICE activists staged a disruptive sit-in at the retail giant, accusing the company of the unforgivable sin of… allowing federal law enforcement to park in its lot and use the restroom.
Yes, really.
The demonstrators, many holding “Abolish ICE” signs, claimed Target was “facilitating ethnic cleansing” by allegedly permitting Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to use its parking lot as a staging area during lawful operations. As shoppers tried to go about their day, protesters chanted, shouted, and obstructed business—proving once again that the modern Left has little interest in working Americans, private property, or basic public order.
“Target parking lots have been a meeting place for ICE agents,” one protester declared dramatically. “ICE agents are using the toilets at Target, so they’re facilitating this invasion.”
That statement alone captures the absurdity of the protest. In the eyes of the radical Left, letting federal agents use a bathroom is now tantamount to enabling tyranny.
The activists went further, accusing Target of failing to “challenge ethnic cleansing” and demanding the corporation “protect immigrant families.” Another protester wailed, “We don’t just want your tiny baby clothes. We want your protection for our families… protect our tiny children from losing their parents.”
What they failed to mention—conveniently—is that the Trump administration’s deportation efforts have focused heavily on criminal illegal aliens, including gang members, violent offenders, and sex criminals. That inconvenient truth doesn’t fit the activist narrative, so it’s ignored.
This Target incident comes amid a broader wave of anti-ICE hysteria, including a viral video from weeks earlier showing activists actively interfering with agents attempting to arrest a child sex offender. In that clip, ICE officers are seen being harassed by horn-honking activists while conducting the arrest.
“We’re here to arrest a child sex offender, and you guys are out here honking,” one visibly frustrated ICE agent told the crowd.
When activists attempted to claim they were merely “press,” the agent responded bluntly and accurately: “That vehicle right there is honking and impeding our investigation while we’re trying to arrest a child sex offender. That’s who you guys are protecting. Insane.”
Insane is the right word.
As news of the Target protest spread online, Americans were quick to call out the hypocrisy and entitlement on display. One viral post noted, “🚨BREAKING: Anti-ICE protesters and clergy are now staging a sit-in at a Target location in St. Paul, Minnesota, demanding that the company ban ICE and other federal agents from operating in or near their parking lots.”
Others were less charitable. “Anti-ICE protesters occupy a Target store… disrupting shoppers,” one user wrote. “Whatever—cry babies.”
Some commenters pointed out the irony of activists targeting Target, a company that has openly supported left-wing causes for years. “Target supports and donates to Democrat causes,” one person noted. “Democrats shut down Target stores, costing them profits and customers. Rinse. Repeat.”
Another added, “This is not public property! This is somebody’s business that they are actively hurting!”
Perhaps the most telling comment summed it up perfectly: “Target wanted to play politics and push woke ideology. Now they’re finding out why that’s a bad idea. When you cater to radicals, eventually the mob turns on you.”
Once again, law enforcement does its job, businesses get caught in the crossfire, and ordinary Americans pay the price—while activists scream slogans and defend the indefensible.
