An Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent entered a Thai restaurant in St. Paul, Minnesota, with his handgun drawn while claiming to look for a "kid," the restaurant's owners said.
Footage from Eastside Thai taken Jan. 19 shows a federal agent step out of a vehicle, draw the gun and enter the restaurant after a person is seen running past the restaurant's front door.
Elle Lee, one of the restaurant's owners, told Storyful that the agent was "shouting at us" as he entered. Kou Lee, the restaurant's other owner, said in a Facebook post that "the ICE agent accused us of hiding the kid."
A witness seen in the video eating as the agent enters the restaurant, identified on Facebook as Sherminator Vang, said in a comment on the post that agents had "been circling around the block looking" for the person. USA TODAY has reached out to the witness for further comment.
The agent is seen exiting the restaurant and then returning with his weapon still unholstered. He speaks with Elle at the threshold of the restaurant and then renters before quickly leaving and returning to his car.
