US DOJ probes coffee chain over supporter denial

The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating a chain of cafes in New York after refusing to let a pro-Israel U.S. Representative, Dan Goldman, enter during his visit with his daughter. The chain stated that they would have refused him entry even if they had recognized him, while officials pointed out that federal law prohibits discrimination based on race, religion, or national origin in public places. The post expressing the refusal was subsequently removed and the cafe's Instagram account was disabled, while Goldman emphasizes that he simply needs to use the facilities.
