A Home Depot store in New Rochelle, New York has hired armed security guards with bulletproof vests and a German Shepherd to patrol the parking lot due to issues with aggressive migrants and thieves.
One guard said they were hired due to break-ins and other crimes.
“It’s not just because of [migrants], but because of a myriad of other things too, like people breaking into cars, that kind of stuff,” the guard said.

The New York Post reported about 30 male migrants at a Bronx Home Depot aggressively confronting shoppers trying to sell fake items or help with cars for tips.
Social media users criticized the situation, blaming President Biden.
“Thanks Joe Biden. Amazing work,” one X user wrote.
“So sad that America has come to this. Thank Joe Biden and his Regime,” another said.
A worker said a supervisor saw a migrant washing himself in the parking lot and women complained of robberies.
A New York City councilwoman discussed migrants at a hearing demanding less police spending and complaining about being called illegal.
“They were just outright demanding on Thursday,” Councilwoman Vickie Paladino said.
“When they really cut me off is when I said you are here illegally. You are here illegally. And they didn’t like that. And that’s when one of the chairwomen cut me off. And she said, ‘Councilmember, do you have a question? Councilmember, do you have a question?’ I said, ‘Yes, I asked it, and I do have more.’ It was about the vetting, which they lied, that she started to spew — one of the people who answered one of my questions on the panel there, but she started to spew cop-hating rhetoric. If we wouldn’t pay our police officers so much,” she said.
Part of New York has become an area for migrants to shop and sell stolen goods along with prostitution.
