American Federation of Teachers launches boycott against Target, claims retailer 'remained silent' on ICE

The American Federation of Teachers, led by President Randi Weingarten, called for a boycott of Target, citing what the union characterized as the retailer's lack of public statement regarding Immigration and Customs Enforcement activities. The AFT did not specify which ICE actions prompted the boycott call. Critics stated that the union's use of pension fund leverage in corporate campaigns should be subject to federal investigation, according to reporting on the announcement.
