In the wake of a fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman by an ICE agent, Indivisible Boca Raton partnered with Hope and Action Broward on January 11, 2026, to stage a protest outside the Home Depot on Glades Road as part of a nationwide weekend of mobilization called Ice Out For Good. Reporter Caris Weinberg covered the action for the Boca Raton Tribune.

The protest had been planned before the Minneapolis shooting, targeting Home Depot specifically because federal immigration raids had been conducted in Home Depot parking lots across the country. Organizers anticipated 200 attendees; the actual turnout was far larger.

"What is going on with ICE in this country is just devastating communities, tearing families apart and separating families," said Myra Kremenitzer, founder of Indivisible Boca Raton. "They're being terrorized and devastated."

Organizers acknowledged the Glades Road location presented safety considerations given its accessibility to counterprotesters, but pressed forward regardless. "They're passionate that nobody else is going to do this," Kremenitzer said. "If they want change, they have to step up."

The Tribune's coverage also offered context on the chapter's rapid growth. Founded on April 5, 2025 with the Hands Off rally at Boca City Hall drawing 2,500 attendees, Indivisible Boca Raton had grown to 200 attendees at regular monthly meetings and approximately 4,500 newsletter subscribers by January 2026. Meetings, originally held with an expected 50 attendees that drew 160 on opening night, had relocated to the Delray Beach Civic Center to accommodate the expanding membership.

Following the protest, Kremenitzer revised the attendance estimate upward to 800. "This large turnout sends a clear message to this administration that ICE raids, detention and deportation are unacceptable," she said. "Our community demands an end to the violence that is occurring all over this country. The policies that terrorize working families are not who we are and we will continue to show up until our leaders choose humanity over fear."
