A popular tattoo artist wearing an anti-ICE shirt was arrested by Border Patrol agents after allegedly spitting at them.
Matthew Munoz was grabbed by officers while inside a tattoo parlor in downtown Los Angeles, California, on Tuesday.
His t-shirt – which he sells for $60 – showed an icy skeleton wearing an ICE helmet with a prohibition sign over the top of it, as he was frog marched from the building.
Sources told Fox11 that Munoz has previously been arrested over a dozen times, including for violent offenses.
Most recently, he was accused of spitting on a Border Patrol agent that was taking part in an immigration enforcement operation in Los Angeles last month.
Assistant Chief David Kim from U.S. Border Patrol’s El Centro Sector said: ‘We are trying to go in very quick, take the subject there, and get him out of here.
‘There’s a lot of people here, in the so-called sanctuary of California, that maybe are used to softer on crime policies.
