Statement on ICE Activity in U.S.

The killings by federal agents of Renée Good and Alex Pretti took place less than 20 minutes from Patagonia's St. Paul store, a location that's been part of the community for 21 years. To support the Minneapolis-St. Paul community, we are donating to local organizations selected by our St. Paul store team. We are also writing to US senators in every state where we have employees to encourage them to vote against further funding for DHS and ICE. And we're calling on other businesses to step up and join in solidarity.
There have been 12 shootings by ICE and Border Patrol agents since September 2025. We are witnessing the militarization of our cities, the expansion of unchecked enforcement power, and a campaign of terror against communities of color and immigrants. This must end.
Please join us and the ACLU by contacting your senators and telling them to vote against a bill that will increase DHS and ICE funding. History shows that public pressure and collective action work, as demonstrated by the people of Minneapolis. We're inspired by their resolve, their compassion and their courage.
With so many environmental rollbacks this past year, we've mobilized where we believe we can be most effective: protecting the natural world. But we can't stand by while our communities are targeted by government-sanctioned violence.
