You need to pass the multiline 'm' flag to the regex. some variant of:

(def testcase "Line 1\nLine 2\nTarget Line\nLine 4\nNot a target line")
(println testcase)
(re-seq #"(?im)^target" testcase)
(re-seq #"(?im)target" testcase)
#'user/testcase
Line 1
Line 2
Target Line
Line 4
Not a target line
nil
("Target")
("Target" "target")
