Dear Mr. Cornell,

I am writing to express my concern regarding recent incidents involving ICE operations at Target stores, particularly in Minnesota. If you are running a company that prides itself on community support and inclusivity (I hope), it is essential that Target takes proactive and reasonable steps to address the growing distress among your customers and employees. The support of Americans who believe in democracy and human rights hinges on how you respond to these issues. Here are several actions that Target could consider implementing to reclaim the trust and support of the community:

1. **Establish Clear Policies Regarding ICE Access**: Develop and publicly share a comprehensive policy outlining your stance on ICE and other federal enforcement agencies accessing your stores. Make it clear that Target prioritizes the safety and rights of its employees and customers.

2. **Provide Training for Employees**: Conduct mandatory training sessions for all employees on how to handle situations involving ICE within your stores. This should include guidelines on ensuring the safety and rights of those who might be affected by immigration enforcement actions.

3. **Transparency in Your Operations**: Regularly update the public on the measures you are taking to protect your employees and customers. Transparency will foster trust and show that you are responsive to community concerns.

4. **Champion Diversity and Inclusion**: Reinforce your commitment to diversity by publicly advocating for inclusive policies and practices, both within Target and in broader community efforts. Support initiatives that promote the democratic values of equality and justice.

5. ** Support Local Advocacy Groups: Collaborate with local immigrant rights organizations and advocacy groups. This could involve financial support, public endorsements, or partnerships aimed at promoting understanding and protections for vulnerable populations.

Taking these actions will show your community and The American People Target’s commitment to supporting democracy and social justice but also help rebuild the trust that has been damaged about what Target supports in this country. It is a telling time in America right now and if you want the support of American people it’s crucial now to show that Target stands firmly with communities that are calling for humane treatment and respect for all individuals. Thank you for your attention to this pressing matter. I look forward to seeing how Target will lead in fostering a safe and inclusive environment for all.
