A dramatic photograph showing a masked protester with a Mexican flag biking around a blazing car in Los Angeles has rapidly become a symbol of the anti-ICE riots in the California city.
Thousands of people stormed the streets of LA on Friday to protest President Donald Trump’s sweeping immigration policies, and the demonstrations escalated over the weekend with violent clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement.
An image of the flag-bearing protester went viral on social media on Sunday, along with drone footage of the scene, prompting a flood of rage from Republican lawmakers and right-wing media personalities who dubbed the riots anti-American.
‘Insurrectionists carrying foreign flags are attacking immigration enforcement officers, while one half of America’s political leadership has decided that border enforcement is evil,’ Vice President JD Vance posted on X late on Saturday.

Rioters seized control of the 101 Freeway through the afternoon, and violent clashes broke out between protesters against the National Guard, LAPD and immigration officials in response to President Trump’s efforts to arrest illegal migrants.
Horrifying scenes of violence have stretched into a third day and sparked a political war of words between Trump and California Governor Gavin Newsom, who accused the federal administration of making matters worse with divisive rhetoric and threats.
