Weingarten Urges Nationwide Boycott of Target Over ICE Condemnation
American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten promoted a nationwide back-to-school boycott of Target after saying the company had not condemned ICE operations in Minnesota, where its headquarters is located. Education advocates criticized the move and urged federal scrutiny. DHS rejected the characterization, saying ICE actions are lawful and not targeted at schools, and called the claims a false narrative.
