For a leftist, it looks like there is nothing more American...than tearing down your country's flag and replace it with Mexico's? At a protest against the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency in Aurora, Colorado on Friday leftwing protesters ripped down Old Glory and flew the flag of Mexico proudly.

As reported by Matt Mauro of Fox 35, armed guards later came and removed the foreign banners.

According to Fox News, "The protesters also removed a 'Blue Lives Matter' flag, honoring law enforcement, spray-painted it with the words 'Abolish ICE,' then raised the flag upside-down, on a pole next to the Mexican flag, according to local media."
"Hundreds of protesters had gathered in Aurora, Colo., outside the federal facility that holds illegal immigrants, to protest ICE raids scheduled to begin Sunday in Denver and other major U.S. cities," Fox noted.
The raids will target only people with final deportation orders.
