The video of the two Target employees—who are US citizens, and minors— being abducted (call it what it was) from their suburban Twin Cities store, by ICE or Border Patrol agents is appalling.
(I’m not going to post the video here, you can find it, and watch it, at your discretion. )
I’m equally bothered by what you don’t see: nowhere do you see Target’s floor manager, the general manager, or security… acting to halt or mitigate the kidnapping (again, call it what it is). Where’s the boss?
Yes, it did happen fast, but the incident began in the store’s parking lot, before the first child was tackled in the entranceway where a struggle ensued. Then the second youth was kidnapped (call it what it is) in the store, off camera.
There was time to intervene. Store management had to be aware of what was happening and seemingly didn’t do jack shit about it.
I don’t have much faith that the kidnappers will be charged by the federal government. Though I expect there will legions of pro-bono attorneys who will volunteer step bring a child-endangerment lawsuit against Target.
