Home Depot’s Day Laborer Haven Turns Into Immigration Target Across Southern California
- Immigration raids targeted day laborers near Home Depot stores across Southern California, including Huntington Park and Santa Ana, during the past week in June 2025.
- The raids were carried out under the directive of Stephen Miller, a senior White House advisor, who instructed immigration authorities to focus on informal work meeting places and set a goal of at least 3,000 apprehensions each day.
- These sweeps led to dozens of detentions and deportations, disrupted long-standing informal hiring at Home Depot parking lots, and triggered protests and clashes with law enforcement in Los Angeles area communities.
- Carlos Perea described the raids as symbolic, emphasizing a strategy to create fear and wear down workers, while local organizers reported workers being scared into relinquishing rights to meet deportation quotas.
- Home Depot denies involvement in enforcement actions but faces reputational risks amid financial pressures and scrutiny over its political ties and the impact of raids on labor availability and customer relations.
