Story summary

Pastor Jamal Bryant announced the end of a yearlong boycott against Target after the company met three of four diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) demands.
Minnesota activists, including civil rights attorney Nekima Armstrong, argue the boycott continues due to Target's incomplete DEI measures and collaboration with ICE.
Activists emphasize that the boycott remains until all demands, including a $250 million deposit in Black-owned banks, are met.
Despite recent improvements in Target's profits, they claim Bryant does not represent the movement.
