ARE ICE AND HOME DEPOT PARTNERS?
[HOUSTON, TX] On Friday August 13 at 11:00am at Home Depot (6800 W Sam Houston Parkway S, Houston, TX 77072) FIEL, PSL, CRECEN, and other community organizations will come together to address the concerns we have around Home Depot and ICE collaboration.
"The detention of Juan Francisco Monroy Turuy is yet another abhorrent example of what happens when ICE is given free rein to terrorize our community. From the murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, to the mass surveillance enabled by Flock cameras, to the collaboration between ICE and HPD, Houstonians understand how these issues are connected. We won’t stop fighting until ICE is off our streets."- Kora Furton
" We have three questions: Why was ICE so quick to come to the scene? Why did they apprehend Juan Francisco Monroy Turuy? What’s the extent of Home Depot and ICE collaboration? The community demands answers. The community that supports Home Depot deserves answers. We are ready to boycott if we don’t have clarity from this company. It goes without saying that this man helped save lives, so why was he taken? -Cesar Espinosa FIEL Houston
