In an incident that enraged conservatives and led to calls for boycotts of the whole, national chain, a Minneapolis McDonald’s location posted a “No ICE” sign and employed a security guard to enforce it, refusing entry to ICE agents amid tensions following the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good during an ICE operation.

For reference, Federal officials, including Secretary Kristi Noem and JD Vance, defended the shooting as self-defense after Good allegedly weaponized her vehicle. Democrats, like Mayor Jacob Frey, condemned it and demanded that ICE leave the city. In the wake of the shooting, protests escalated, with investigations contested between federal and state authorities.

In any case, the security guard at the center of the scandal tried to refuse ICE by emphasizing private property rights while allowing purchases but restricting access. noxiously whined, when caught on tape refusing to serve ICE agents and defending the sign that said no ICE agents would be allowed in, saying, “This is private property. So you can’t just break the law because you’re a federal agent. It’s like coming into your house or coming to any other restaurant. There’s rules.”

Continuing, the irritating security guard kept going, “They read the sign. At the end of the day, you have the right to come in and make a purchase. It’s just there are rules and regulations,” he claimed to several DHS agents when pressed on the matter of keeping agents out of the store.

Commenters on X, responding to the news, quickly started calling for boycotts of the chain, indicating that such would be the natural and proper response to the horrid behavior of the restaurant and security guard. “McDonalds is begging for the bud light treatment, I would boycott them but I don’t eat their garbage to begin with,” one poster on X said.

Others, referencing the sign and incident, said things like, “ATTENTION @McDonalds This was placed on a Minnesota franchise We will boycott WE THE PEOPLE support our ICE Agents” and “If this is true, you have some consequences of your very own actions, in the shape of a nationwide boycott, heading McDonald’s way. Get woke – go broke.”

Another poster, describing another way to punish the chain for its anti-ICE stance, said, “If you’re in a MacDonalds drive thru this morning and are seeing this while you are waiting, just turn off your car and block the way in protest. Never buy a MacDonalds unhealthy product again until this franchise is stripped of its Golden Arches. Chick Fil A is a healthier choice.”
