there's 18,000 police departments across the united states after the murder of george floyd. many of them had a reflective moment and did a lot of things to try to improve police, community relationships. and, you know, police departments depend on trust. and derek chauvin destroyed that trust. and they've been trying to rebuild it. so it's actually really hurting law enforcement, because what you're saying is good conduct, bad conduct, it doesn't matter. you get to murder people if you want to. and so for every chief and every police officer out there striving to make a better department with a better relationship with their community, it is a spit in the face to them. >> to keith ellison, i appreciate your time this morning. thank you so much for being here. >> thank you. >> also new this morning, president trump's 25% tariffs on most everything coming from mexico and canada already having a real world impact. distributors are seeing higher prices for things like avocados, tomatoes and more. and fruits and vegetables from mexico aren't the only items getting pricier. cnn's

well, the target after the murder of george floyd and the ensuing protest, the company became one of the most outspoken corporate supporters of dei. but now, as the new administration cracks down on dei, they're changing their tune. joining us now is one of the faith leaders calling on his congregants to partake in the boycott. bishop reginald jackson bishop, thank you for joining us. can you just describe what you're hoping to achieve through this boycott? >> well, we want to send a message to the corporate community. if you can't stand with us, we can't stand with you. if you can't help us to advance, there's no need for us to help you to advance. our dollars ought to count for something. and so our dollars also ought to stand for something. we want to send that message to corporate america and target because of its rescission of decisions already made, is a prime example. >> there are other companies that have rolled back their policies. target's not alone in this space. why is target the bullseye? >> well, we looked at different figures and all and blacks contribute an overwhelmi

phil, just to go a little deeper into this, after george floyd died, target pledged about $2 milliondie, and they walked that back. he wants them to put that $2 billion back into the dei programs. he also was hoping to see target put in money to black bankers across this country, and wants them to get involved in hbcus, historically black colleges throughout the country. and this is all this is going to be a part of the pitch. they're moving forward. >> you make a really important point about the pastor's power within the community, and the resonance in his voice, and where he kind of stands on issues. this target is not the only company that has kind of stepped away from dei policies over the course of the last month or two. has pastor bryant mentioned or others that you talked to mentioned boycotting other major companies that have moved away from these policies? >> so everyone's getting a bit of this, but there's a reason why they put the bull's eye on target, because obviously that outside $2 billion is a number that a lot of people had big eyes over when it was made. the announc
