Cheesecake Factory Inc. says it was just following local rules when police were summoned after a group of people who say they weren't vaccinated refused to leave its New York City restaurant.

It may face another standoff Wednesday, as organizers of the Dec. 14 protest say on social media that they plan to return to the Queens location.
