Target Apologizes for Offensive Halloween Costume

(ABC 6 NEWS) -- We're two weeks away from Halloween, which means many people have been out searching for costumes, but the costume one boy found on Target's web site raised some eyebrows.
    
Target had an "illegal immigrant" costume for sale on its web site.
    
It featured an alien in an orange jumpsuit, holding a green card.
    
And now, the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles is demanding the store stop selling it.
    
Target says it will remove the costume from its web site.
    
The retailer says it never intended to sell the costume and says it was mistakenly posted online.
