Disruptive Anti-ICE protesters occupied and staged a sit-in at a Target store in St. Paul, Minnesota, accusing the retailer of permitting ICE agents to use its parking lot as a staging ground for operations, including using facilities like toilets.
Showing no shame, Demonstrators chanted for ICE abolition, demanded Target protect immigrant families and oppose “ethnic cleansing,” and disrupted shoppers. This incident is related to a series of anti-ICE actions amid Trump administration deportations targeting criminals, including a viral video of agents confronting horn-honking interferers during a child sex offender arrest.
Target parking lots have been a meeting place for ICE agents,” claimed one protester holding an “Abolish ICE” sign, “ICE agents are using the toilets at Target, so they’re facilitating this invasion. Target is serving as a ‘staging ground’ for ICE.”
Continuing the absurd allegations, the protestor claimed, “They’re not at all participating in challenging this ethnic cleansing we’re seeing in this country.” Agreeing, another whined, “We don’t just want your tiny baby clothes. We want your protection for our families…protect our tiny children from losing their parents.”
“You must stop treating immigrants wrong,” a Demonstrator yelled, as the group chanted, “We’ll be back, we’ll be back.” However, despite these irritating protests, many users have drawn attention to the legitimate reasons ICE agents have continued their deportation efforts.
In a clip that went viral weeks before this incident, an ICE agent pointed out, “We’re here to arrest a child sex offender, and you guys are out here honking,” to a hostile crowd. “No, we’re press,” one activist alleged,” We’re not honking.”
Firing back, the ICE agent in the viral clip pointed out the obvious. “That vehicle right there is honking and impeding our investigations while we’re trying to arrest a child sex offender. That’s who you guys are protecting. Insane,” he noted.

Reacting to the situation, a 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.”
“Anti ICE protesters occupy a Target store in St.Paul Minnesota this morning ( Monday Jan 19th) disrupting shoppers and claiming that the store is allowing federal agents to operating the parking lot. 🤨 Whatever 🙄 cry babies,” another joked.
Sick of the situation, one comment said, “Target supports and donates to Democrat causes. Democrats shut down Target stores, costing them profits and customers. Rinse….Repeat.” Similarly annoyed, another added, “It’s maddening that our government continues to allow this to continue! This is not public property! This is somebody’s business that they are actively hurting! But whatever I guess🙄.”

Rounding out the comments, a user pointed out, “This made my day. Target wanted to play politics in the past and push woke ideology. Now they’re finding out why that’s a bad idea. That can easily swing around & bite you in the a** when the political winds blow from a different direction. Starbucks is finding out the same. 😂”
