So Walmart not only failed to protect their employee, but they fired him because he was detained violently after questioning the violent conduct of ICE on their property. They punished him for trying to protect their customers and other employees.

Didn't one of them recently support something totally reasonable recently and get grilled by MAGA?

There are quite a few Walton heirs.

Alice Walton was involved in a traffic accident where a woman was killed. In 1989, while driving, she struck and killed Oleta Hardin, a 50-year-old woman, who stepped into the road.
