Border Patrol Commander Kicked Out of Gas Station in Minnesota, Fueling Boycott Calls.
A disturbing incident has unfolded at a Speedway gas station in Minnesota, where Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino and other federal agents were allegedly denied service by an employee. The events, which took place outside the convenience store, have sparked outrage on social media with some users calling for a boycott of the gas station.
According to eyewitness Cam Higby, who witnessed the incident, federal agents were seen walking outside the store before being asked if they worked there. When one of them replied that they didn't, the employee reportedly denied them service, stating that "we don't support ICE and nobody here does."
The employee's response has been interpreted by some as a rejection of federal law enforcement officers, prompting fears that it may be an act of insurrection against those who enforce immigration policies. Conservative podcaster Benny Johnson called out the action on X, saying "A Speedway in Minnesota REFUSES service to Border Commander Greg Bovino and his agents. EMPLOYEE: 'We don't support ICE and nobody here does.' Disgraceful."
The incident has raised concerns about public safety and the role of federal law enforcement officers in enforcing immigration policies. President Donald Trump's administration has been carrying out a series of immigration enforcement operations across major cities, leading to protests and unrest.
As tensions escalate, Speedway officials have refused to comment on the incident, citing company policy. However, some users are urging consumers to boycott the gas station, citing its apparent stance against federal law enforcement officers. The move could potentially have significant consequences for the business, given the widespread support for Trump's policies among Republican voters.
The situation is still unfolding, with many calling for more information and clarification on what exactly happened at the Speedway gas station in Minnesota.

. Can't we all just get along? The employee was clearly expressing their opinion and not doing anything illegal or threatening. It's not like they were being abusive or violent towards the agents. And what's with the boycott calls? Is it really worth sacrificing someone's livelihood over a disagreement? Speedway should be able to set its own policies without being judged by people on social media. I feel bad for the employee who had to deal with this, but I also don't think they did anything wrong 
. It's just another example of how divided we are as a country 
.
anyway, if u dont wanna give service to ppl in uniforms, thats ur prerogative, but boycotting the whole place? that's just excessive lol @ all the "we stand w/ law enforcement" ppl who never actually had 2 interact w/ a single cop, btw what r we even talkin about here... federal laws & immigration policies r complex issues, can't resolve them w/ a simple boycott 
it's not about supporting or rejecting federal law enforcement officers, it's about treating everyone with dignity and respect. we need to ask ourselves, what kind of society are we building when we start judging people based on who they work for? shouldn't our gas stations be places where anyone can get help without fear of prejudice? 
i'm trying to visualize this scene, and it sounds like a total clash of egos... the employee feels strongly about ICE policies, but so do these federal agents, you know? 
. as for the boycott, i'm all about consumer choice, but is this really a good idea? won't it just fuel more division? 
. Like, can't we just try to understand where each other is coming from? This employee's response might've seemed bold, but it's not like they're out to start a revolution or anything 
. I mean, if the gas station doesn't want to support ICE, that's their prerogative – we don't need more drama in our lives. And can we talk about how ridiculous it is that some people are already saying this employee is an 'insurrectionist' 
.
. whoever said they don't support ICE should be able to express their opinion freely, but maybe it went too far? the employee might've just been trying to do the right thing by standing up for what they believe in 
.
. can we please just talk about this without jumping to conclusions? 
. Can't we all just chill about it and move on from there?
. We need more understanding and less polarization, especially when it comes to those serving our nation
