Federal law enforcement officers were forced to leave a Mexican restaurant in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Sunday after diners began shouting expletives at them, demanding they leave the business.
Footage showed the federal agents marching through Cancun Mexican Grill & Cantina, while angry agitators shouted insults at them, followed them and recorded the ordeal on their phones.
“What’s wrong with you all,” one man shouted.
“No wonder you f—— have to f—— wear a mask, you f—— pieces of shit,” another man could be heard saying.

As the officers walked out of the business, others raised their middle fingers and shouted, “Get out of here, you fat little bastard,” “Get off the f——,” “un-American pieces of shit” and “f—— Nazi pieces of shit—.”
