I got fired from my job last week for leaving the building on my 15 minutes break do it have a case

Anyone can be fired. The true question is whether you have a claim against your employer for firing you. Whether you have a claim turns on the question are you being treated differently based on characteristic that are unchangeable (a.k.a. protected class status - age over 40, disability, race, color, gender, national origin, and sexual orientation). If your employer has a policy about leaving the building and you are fired for violating that policy but persons outside your protected class (ex. if you are over 40 years old and persons under 40) violate it (and the employer knows about the violation) without getting terminated then you would have a valid claim. The employer's real reason for terminating your employment is not the violation of policy but the hidden illegal reason of discrimination.

You had a right to the break. If you were fired for exercising that right, so long as you returned before the end of the 15 minutes, the termination may be unlawful. You should speak with counsel.
