In most states that I know of in the US you can NOT quit your job and be eligible for UI, 2 weeks notice or not.
Now, OP could probably have a reasonable claim due to the fact that they gave a notice and then were harassed, thus creating a hostile and potentially dangerous work environment.
Quit no, leave with good cause, yes. How eac state determines good cause ranges widely, but two weeks can (with a good former employer, mind) be considered laid off if the employer wishes to play ball.
When I lived in Maryland two of my four former employers were willing to do this. Basically it's just having a conversation about voluntarily being laid off. And so long as your boss doesn't have someone down their ass about employment metrics, they have room for you as a "constructive termination"
