During a recent protest in Los Angeles against ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), something unexpected caught everyone’s attention—protesters were seen waving foreign flags, including flags of Mexico and Palestine.
This event has sparked a big political debate, especially among conservatives, who are now saying this proves what former President Donald Trump has been warning about for years.
Many of the protesters were marching through the streets of LA, holding signs and shouting against immigration enforcement.
But instead of holding American flags or symbols of unity, many waved the flags of other countries. This raised a lot of questions and concerns—why are foreign flags being flown at a protest meant to address U.S. policies?
Miranda Devine, a conservative columnist, strongly criticized the protest and its message. She said that the presence of foreign flags shows how disconnected the protest is from American values.
According to her, this kind of protest doesn’t fight for justice or human rights, but instead shows support for open borders and lawlessness.
She also pointed out that this kind of display proves Trump was right all along. Trump had often warned that uncontrolled immigration would hurt the U.S. and that there were people who didn’t respect the country’s laws.
The LA protest, according to Devine, is an example of exactly that. Protesters didn’t come to fix a problem—they came to make a political statement against the U.S.
The protest turned violent in some areas, with people clashing with police and causing property damage. Some protesters were even seen burning American flags, which made the situation worse. It wasn’t just a peaceful demonstration—it became chaotic and aggressive.
What upset many people the most was the lack of response from Democratic leaders. While violence and foreign symbols dominated the protest, most Democratic politicians remained silent.
According to Devine, their silence shows they don’t have a strong position on immigration or border control. It also makes it harder for them to criticize Trump or others who support stricter immigration rules.
Devine argues that this silence from Democrats shows they are stuck. On one hand, they want to appear supportive of immigrants and open-minded policies. On the other hand, they don’t want to be seen as ignoring violence or disrespect toward the U.S. But in staying quiet, they are losing public trust.
The LA protest wasn’t just about ICE or immigration. It became a bigger symbol of a divided America, where some people feel deeply connected to the country and its laws, while others are openly rejecting them. And this divide is getting deeper with every such event.
Social media also exploded after the protest. Videos of people waving foreign flags and clashing with police were shared widely.
Some users supported the protest, calling it a fight for human rights. But many others were shocked and angry, asking how such protests are allowed to happen without consequences.
This whole incident has once again brought the issue of border control, immigration enforcement, and national identity into the spotlight. It has also revived Trump’s earlier warnings about who gets to enter the country and why strict immigration laws matter.
In the end, the protest didn’t just target ICE—it revealed the deep cracks in America’s immigration debate. It left many Americans wondering whether the country is truly united or if it’s becoming a place where national pride is being replaced by foreign agendas.
For now, the protest has ended, but the political storm it created is still growing. It remains to be seen whether leaders, especially from the Democratic Party, will address the concerns raised or continue to remain silent.
