A TikTok video posted by user @handsome10023 has gone viral for its scathing criticism of recent anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles.
The video, recorded during the fourth consecutive night of demonstrations, features the young man — identified only by his handle — delivering a sharply worded critique of the protests, the participants, and their messaging, particularly the display of foreign flags and anti-American rhetoric.
The video was posted on Monday and quickly gained traction across multiple platforms, drawing attention for both its commentary and delivery.

The protests in question were sparked by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) actions in Los Angeles, leading to crowds assembling across the city to demonstrate against federal immigration enforcement.
In the opening of the video, @handsome10023 sarcastically expressed support for the protests, stating, “Someone asked me if I support the protests going on in L.A. I 100 percent do. Please, keep going! Burn down your own backyard if you must. You know why? Because this, this right here is the greatest campaign that this side never had to pay for.”
He continued by addressing protesters waving the Mexican flag and chanting anti-American slogans.
“Ya’ll Motherf**ers out there in Los Angeles throwing a full-blown f**king tantrum, like ya’ll just crawled out the Rio Grande, screaming ‘Death to America,’ in a country that gave you the f**king freedom to do that sh*t,” he said. “You were born at Kaiser Permanente in Burbank—stop it! You ain’t El Chapo, you’re Chris from Pasadena.”

The video then turned toward criticism of what he described as selective cultural pride. “Don’t get it twisted, I respect the heritage,” he said.
“But flying a foreign flag while sh*ttng on the country that gave you the f**king freedom to do it, that’s not pride. You don’t even go to f**king Mexico unless it’s for Spring Break and Cancun with a passport you got from the U.S. government.”
His commentary also highlighted what he characterized as the protesters’ reliance on American comforts and institutions.
“You like your Door Dash. Your 7-11s, your air conditioning, your freedom to scream dumb sh*t without a cartel rolling up on your motherf**king ass,” he said.
“Let’s be honest: ain’t nobody screaming ‘Death to Mexico’ while flying an American flag through Guadalajara. You know why? Because that’s how you end up in a back alley starring in Cartel TikTok Season 3.”
The TikTok clip also drew attention to public perception of the protests.
“Every time ya’ll riot, loot, tearin’ up your own sh*t, you’re just birthing another red voter,” he said.
“The rest of America is sitting back watching you block freeways during rush hour, destroying businesses, wearing 300 dollar f**king Jordans screaming about injustice in the city with the most social programs and diversity programs in the f**king country.”
In referencing earlier civil unrest, the creator compared the current protests to past events like the 1992 Los Angeles riots and the 2020 riots following the death of George Floyd.
“People are still suffering and those cities still haven’t come back,” he said.
The video concluded with a pointed remark on the political impact of continued demonstrations.
“I’m not mad that you’re passionate, I’m mad you’re dumb,” he said.
“And your dumb ass behavior is helping the other side more than a Trump rally in Texas with free brisket.”
