Home Depot Stock Slides Amid Controversy Over ICE Raids and Day Laborer Ties

Home Depot (NYSE:HD) shares fell nearly 1.5% as the company faces scrutiny over its tacit stance on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids targeting day laborers in its parking lots. Despite calls for public condemnation, the home improvement giant has maintained a muted response, citing no direct involvement in the operations.
Observers note the paradoxical relationship: while Home Depot denies formal ties to day laborers, their presence indirectly supports its business model. "Day laborers love Home Depot, and Home Depot’s bottom line loves day laborers," said Chris Newman of the National Day Labor Organizing Network. The lack of a decisive corporate stance appears to weigh on investor sentiment.
