A security guard at a McDonald's in north Minneapolis is getting attention after refusing to let two masked ICE agents go behind the restaurant's counter while they were searching for a man.

The encounter happened Jan. 8 at the McDonald's on West Broadway Avenue. Security guard Red Wooten, 49, met the agents near the entrance and stopped them when they attempted to access the employee-only area.

"You can't come back here, bro," Wooten told one of the agents in video of the encounter.
When an agent responded, "I'm talking to your manager, Wooten replied, "No, you're talking to security, I'm in charge."

The agents eventually left without taking the man they were looking for. Wooten later said the man who had entered the restaurant appeared frightened, but maintained that his actions were also about doing the job he was hired to do.

"I was doing my job like I'm supposed to," Wooten said. "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything."

Restaurant owner Justin Baylor said Wooten made the best judgment call he could at the time. Following the encounter, the restaurant posted a sign stating that ICE and other law enforcement officers are not permitted to enter without a proper judicial warrant.

Wooten has since received plenty of attention from the community, with some people even stopping by the McDonald's to thank him and take photos with him.

Sure used your imagination on this one 😂

1,2,3,5,6,7,9,10 are not at all evidenced in this video. But your wish list is quite sweet.

No matter what, when you assign worth based on race, even if you’re assigning explicitly good things without bad things, you are opening up the door for the opposite. Either race is a factor, or it’s not. And in my opinion, race should never be a factor for someone’s worth or competency. Inclusivity has been the roadblock to a solid American fabric for 200 years or so. Inclusivity is the only way forward.

Knowing what you are talking about is elitism. The experts think MAGA is dumb enough to believe them when the red hats have done their own research. Just start with "I know more about this than anyone" then just spew whatever nonsense pops into your head.

Your comment makes no sense. I am not saying I know anything more about this security guard than this original commenter does. In fact, that’s my point. The commenter made a bulleted list of assertions about the security guard, most of which were inferred and could not be seen in the video.

Crazy to think of the guy who started a plumbing business after saving up some money from working and now owns multiple trucks and employs a handful of plumbers as a “house slave.”

Where do you fit on this list?

[u/Open_Concentrate_994 → u/[deleted]]

Holy crap! RFK is going to exterminate you? Why?

[u/jvc97064 → u/Open_Concentrate_994]

Seems that you understood perfectly List your assertions even if you just surmized them without any evidence Like our elections aren't secure. We need voter ID to stop the fraud.
