Anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis escalated their campaign against federal immigration enforcement Wednesday, mobbing Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino at a Speedway gas station, dumping a bag of chips on him, and hurling insults including "F*cking Nazi."
The incident unfolded amid heightened tensions over ongoing ICE operations in the Twin Cities, where federal agents face accusations of aggressive tactics and local officials stand accused of inciting unrest.

I asked the Commander if this is illegal, and the cashier said “I DON’T CARE IF IT IS”@CMDROpAtLargeCA pic.twitter.com/fAqzCHS9uY
A clerk followed them out, shouting, "Don’t come back either. Bye."
The man confirmed he kicked Bovino and his team out "because I wanted to."
He added, "We don’t support ICE, and nobody here does."
When asked if denying service to federal agents was legal, he replied, "I personally don’t care" if it is.
The ruckus highlights deepening divisions in Minnesota, where weeks of protests against ICE have drawn federal scrutiny of state and local leaders, including Gov. Tim Walz, Mayor Jacob Frey, and Attorney General Keith Ellison, for allegedly encouraging resistance to enforcement.Gov.

This brazen harassment of a federal officer enforcing the law exposes the ugly face of sanctuary radicalism—where private businesses and mobs alike openly defy authority, insult patriots in uniform, and treat law enforcement as the enemy.
Bovino remained composed under fire, but the message rings clear: in blue strongholds, following orders can make you a target for the unhinged left.
