In a <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate.target.com\/news-features\/article\/2026\/02\/michael-fiddelke-message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">statement<\/a> on Monday, Fiddelke outlined Target&#8217;s business priorities, but he refrained from specifically commenting on ICE&#8217;s activities in Minneapolis.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Such reticence could backfire for Target, Weingarten said, adding that Fiddelke&#8217;s &#8220;response to the current crisis will define your time as CEO&#8221; of the company.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Fiddelke was one of more than 60 CEOs of Minnesota-based companies who signed a\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/apple-ceo-tim-cook-minneapolis-pretti-killing\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">joint letter<\/a><\/span>\u00a0in January demanding the &#8220;immediate de-escalation of tensions.&#8221; But they omitted any reference to ICE or its tactics after two border patrol fatally shot\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/jose-huerta-chuma-alex-pretti-minneapolis-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Minneapolis resident Alex Pretti<\/a><\/span>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>U.S. immigration agents also fatally shot\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/renee-good-minneapolis-senate-democrats\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Minneapolis resident Renee Good<\/a><\/span> on Jan. 7.<\/p>\n<p>Weingarten called the letter a &#8220;productive first step,&#8221; but said &#8220;it falls far short of showing real leadership to end ICE&#8217;s occupation in Minnesota.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In September, AFT joined a nationwide call for consumers to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aft.org\/press-release\/aft-joins-nationwide-boycott-against-target\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">boycott<\/a> Target after the company rolled back its diversity, equity and inclusion efforts in response to the Trump administration&#8217;s crackdown on such programs.<\/p>\n<p>Target didn&#8217;t immediately reply to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Alison Taylor, a professor of Business and Society at NYU Stern School of Business, told CBS News that the business community is likely to come under continuing pressure related to the events in Minneapolis.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Everyone who is angry about this wanted to see condemnation, names of victims, and a stronger callout that this should stop, and I don&#8217;t think anybody saw that,&#8221; she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>ICE agents have staged operations in Target parking lots, making them a popular site of demonstrations for anti-ICE activists.
