"ICE Out" rallies Feb. 28 at Home Depot stores across San Diego County

February 27, 2026 - Community members and local civic advocacy groups will rally at over a dozen Home Depot locations across San Diego County on Saturday, February 28, including three East County locations, calling on the company to condemn ICE activities at their properties, and stop immigration enforcement actions at these and all locations.

Organizers say ICE agents have targeted day laborers in Home Depot parking lots across the country, detaining and deporting workers who are seeking employment. Advocates describe the situation as a growing human rights crisis occurring on Home Depot property and are calling on the company’s corporate leadership to take clear, public action.

Rally participants are urging Home Depot to: 

• Publicly condemn ICE raids conducted on its property
• Prohibit federal immigration enforcement from using its parking lots to target day laborers
• Commit to ensuring that its stores are safe and welcoming spaces for all people, regardless of immigration status. 

Organizers warn that continued silence from Home Depot risks eroding community trust and consumer support nationwide.

WHAT: “ICE OUT OF HOME DEPOT” rallies calling on Home Depot to take immediate action to stop immigration enforcement activity on its property.

WHO: Local non-partisan civic advocacy groups, including Indivisible chapters, concerned community members, workers, and immigrant rights advocates.

WHEN: Saturday, February 28, 2026 (times vary by location).
