UPDATE: Another Protest Planned Outside West Boca Home Depot This Saturday
BOCA RATON, FL (Boca Post) (Copyright © 2026) — Indivisible Boca Raton is planning a Saturday protest outside the Home Depot off Glades Road, describing it as a solidarity action tied to immigration enforcement activity the group says is happening in Home Depot parking lots.
The flyer circulating for the event carries a blunt message: “Silence speaks volumes…” and says “immigration raids take place in the parking lots of Home Depot stores while the company remains silent as these raids continue on its premises.” The protest is scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 10, from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., on the sidewalk in front of the Glades Road entrance to the Home Depot parking lot at 9820 Glades Road in Boca Raton.
The organizing list on the flyer includes Hope and Action Indivisible, Indivisible Boca Raton, the PBC Immigration Coalition (PBCIC), Palm Beach Indivisibles, and South PBC Indivisible. The event is being promoted with an online RSVP link through Mobilize.
Locally, this is the same network of people that have previously held "NO KINGS" protests in Boca Raton and across Palm Beach County. This weekend’s action is being framed around immigration enforcement and corporate accountability, with organizers urging supporters to show up and “stand in solidarity.”
The Home Depot event is one part of a broader push outlined in Indivisible Boca Raton’s January 2026 newsletter, which opens with a midterm-election focus and lays out plans for sustained voter outreach across Boca Raton and nearby communities.
“We can no longer wait until two weeks before an election to start knocking on doors, making calls and mailing out postcards,” the newsletter says. “The time to start is now!”
The group says it is looking for volunteers in “every gated and non-gated community” in Boca and neighboring towns, with an emphasis on reaching independent voters in addition to Democrats. The newsletter calls independent voters “a third of the electorate” and says the group will train volunteers on strategies for outreach.
For people who do not want to canvass, the group also promotes phone banking sessions and postcarding opportunities. The stated goal is to reach voters in every community in and around Boca Raton, and the newsletter bluntly frames the city as an area Democrats need to compete harder in.
“Our goal is to reach voters in every community in Boca and neighboring towns,” the newsletter says. “For too long, Boca Raton has been a win for the Republicans. This is our opportunity to turn Boca Raton Blue!”
The newsletter also signals a more formal political role this cycle, saying Indivisible National has authorized local chapters to endorse candidates for the 2026 midterm elections. Indivisible Boca Raton says it plans to invite candidates to speak at meetings held from April through July, with a schedule to follow.
The organization’s first meeting of the year, held Jan. 5, drew what the newsletter described as close to 200 attendees. According to the group, U.S. Senate candidate Jennifer Jenkins and Boca Raton mayoral candidate Andy Thomson attended and spoke, with State Sen. Tina Polsky introducing them.
That appearance is now being cited by organizers as a show of support and momentum heading into a busy election year — and it comes as the group is also promoting other issue campaigns beyond electoral work.
In the same January newsletter, Indivisible Boca Raton promotes a petition and boycott call aimed at Publix, centered on the company’s policies on open carry. The newsletter headline for that section reads: “Publix: Where shopping feels unsafe,” and it urges supporters to sign a petition and boycott the grocery chain “as much as possible” until a change is made.
Another section calls for more "RAISE" legal observers, volunteers who “help respond to, verify, and document immigration enforcement”, and lists both online and in-person training options. The newsletter says online trainings are usually held Fridays at noon, and it lists an in-person training scheduled for Wednesday, Jan. 28, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Hagen Ranch Road Library in Delray Beach.
There is also a “287(g) Campaign Call-To-Action” encouraging supporters to contact Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw and ask him to “limit your cooperation with ICE,” noting that sheriffs in Florida were “legally obligated to and have signed a 287(g) agreement,” as described in the newsletter.
Saturday’s Home Depot protest, at least as promoted in the group’s own materials, sits at the intersection of those themes: immigration enforcement, public pressure campaigns, and local organizing — with a clear attempt to turn one weekend event into a wider volunteer pipeline for the year ahead.
Boca Post reached out to Home Depot for comment on the planned protest and claims raised by organizers but had not received a response as of publication.
UPDATE: Thursday, January 9, 2026 - 9:14 AM ET
A spokesperson from Home Depot provided the following comment:
"To say that we are cooperating with these immigration enforcement activities is just false. We are not informed when these activities are going to happen, and we’re in no way involved in the operations. We cannot legally interfere with federal enforcement agencies, including preventing them from coming into our stores and parking lots.
We ask associates to report incidents immediately and not engage with the activity for their safety. If associates feel uncomfortable after witnessing ICE activity, we offer them the support they need to take care of themselves and their families, which often includes the option to go home for the rest of the day with pay."
UPDATE: Saturday, Jan. 10, 2026 - 12:45 p.m.
An estimated 100 people gathered Saturday morning outside the Home Depot on Glades Road for the planned protest organized by Indivisible Boca Raton and affiliated groups.
The demonstration remained peaceful, with participants standing along the sidewalk and holding signs while traffic moved steadily through the area. Several Boca Raton police officers were present, and no incidents were reported.
Video from the scene shows frequent honking from passing vehicles, which appeared to be a mix of supportive and neutral reactions. There were no counter-protesters observed during the event.
The protest lasted roughly an hour and concluded without arrests or disruptions to store operations.
