Dollar General Tells Stores to Let ICE Talk to Staff, Customers

Dollar General Corp. is instructing store managers to let immigration enforcement agents who visit their locations speak with staff and customers, showing how companies are preparing to cooperate on the Trump administration’s priorities.

If law enforcement agencies such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement show up seeking to talk to a worker, “Please allow the agent to speak with the employee,” the retailer instructed store managers in a confidential memo Thursday. “Ask the Agent to meet with the employee outside the store and away from customers and other employees if possible.”
