The sign and videos were shared on social media by The Daily Wire, and a security guard at the restaurant reiterated that it is private property and federal agents need proper legal authority to enter. McDonald&#8217;s USA said the flyer was posted without the franchise owner&#8217;s approval, has been removed, and staff were reminded of company signage policies. The incident took place amid ICE activity in Minneapolis tied to investigations of alleged welfare fraud involving members of the Somali community.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>As U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents surged into Minneapolis, Minnesota, one local McDonald&rsquo;s made a public display against the upholding of federal immigration law.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire posted an image of the sign, which was captioned &ldquo;NO ICE ACCESS IN THIS BUSINESS,&rdquo;
