'Take your orange aprons somewhere else': Citing raids, L.A. official opposes Home Depot in Eagle Rock

A Los Angeles city councilmember has openly opposed Home Depot's plans to open a new location at Eagle Rock Plaza, claiming the home improvement retailer has been complicit with immigration enforcement operations.

In an Instagram post, Councilmember Ysabel Jurado wrote, "Take your orange aprons somewhere else," citing a raid that occurred Thursday morning at Westlake Home Depot, one of several at that location since June. Jurado's district spans from downtown to El Sereno and Eagle Rock.

Home Depot plans to demolish the former Macy's department store in Eagle Rock Plaza to make space for its new location, The Eastsider reported.

On Thursday, surveillance video obtained by The Times shows federal agents arriving in several vehicles across from the Home Depot and CARECEN Day Labor Center, and immediately running after people, including vendors and day laborers.
