Home Depot signed a deal that pays them $250 million with DHS, allowing ICE agents to stake out their parking lots and arrest immgrants.

The claim consists of several components: that Home Depot signed a financial deal worth $250 million with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and that this deal permits ICE agents to stake out Home Depot parking lots to arrest immigrants. Extensive recent reporting from multiple reputable news organizations documents that Home Depot parking lots have become common locations where undocumented day laborers gather and where ICE and Border Patrol agents have conducted immigration raids.cnbc.comcnbc.comThe Home Depot parking lot labor economy is at heart of Trump's ICE immigration...newsweek.comnewsweek.comHow Home Depot Got Caught in Trump's Immigration Crackdowntheguardian.comtheguardian.comAt Home Depot, Ice raids terrorize the workers who helped build LA: ‘They just...nytimes.comnytimes.comBorder Patrol Agents Raid a Home Depot in Northern California

However, none of these sources or any credible reports mention any formal financial agreement or contract between Home Depot and DHS or ICE involving payment or authorization for such enforcement activities. In fact, Home Depot has publicly denied involvement in immigration enforcement operations.newsweek.comnewsweek.comHow Home Depot Got Caught in Trump's Immigration Crackdown The presence of ICE agents at these locations appears to be part of broader federal immigration enforcement efforts targeting day labor sites rather than the result of a paid partnership or deal with the company.

The claim that Home Depot receives $250 million for this purpose is unsupported by any evidence and likely fabricated. While ICE agents do conduct raids at or near Home Depot parking lots, this is not due to a contractual arrangement but rather because these locations are known gathering points for day laborers, some of whom may be undocumented.

Therefore, the claim conflates observed enforcement activity with an unsubstantiated financial agreement and misrepresents the nature of the relationship between Home Depot and federal immigration authorities.
