Target says they can’t keep ICE out of their stores because they’re open to the public.
After we were *kicked out of Target yesterday*, this NYPD officer helpfully explained to me that Target can keep out:
⁃ shoplifters
⁃ protesters
⁃ ICE
⁃ anybody, actually

The Philadelphia Board of Education voted Thursday to approve a $600,000 contract with police supply store Atlantic Tactical. The funding will come out of the school safety operating budget.
"Multiple studies have found that school resource officers do not reduce gun-related incidents at schools, but do intensify the use of suspension, expulsion and police referral, especially for Black and Brown students."
Tactical gear will soon become part of school safety officers’ everyday outfit
The Philadelphia School Board of Education has approved a $600,000 contract to provide all school safety officers handcuffs and bulletproof vests.

From FB regarding Pizza Luce in Minnesota.
I like it when I can do something to help people displaced by ICE and then after I do that thing I get to eat a pizza.
