Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino and other U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers were refused service Wednesday at a Speedway convenience store.

Video circulating on social media shows Bovino and other federal agents turned away at a Speedway near Minneapolis. A Speedway worker reportedly told the commander and his team they would not be served because staff members “don’t support ICE.”

Independent journalist Cam Higby shared footage showing him questioning a Speedway employee after Bovino and other federal agents were denied service at a Minneapolis location. In the video, Higby asks the employee whether they work at the store and whether they refused service to the agents. The employee answered and said the decision was intentional.

“You guys kicked him out?” Higby asked.

“Yeah, I did. Because I wanted to. We don’t support ICE. Nobody here does. Neither do I,” the worker said.

Higby then turned to Bovino and asked whether it is legal for a business to deny service to federal agents.

“If it is, I personally don’t care,” the Speedway worker interjected.

Protests against ICE intensified across the United States following the Jan. 7 fatal shooting of Renee Good, after an ICE officer fired as she accelerated her vehicle toward him. Demonstrations spread nationwide. A video that circulated Friday on X shows anti-ICE activists misidentifying a man as an ICE agent because he was driving a vehicle similar to those commonly used by the agency.

As the protests escalated, the Pentagon reportedly ordered about 1,500 active-duty troops to stand by and prepare for possible deployment in Minneapolis.

The Department of Homeland Security and Speedway did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
