A woman yelling profanity and racist slurs went viral after she threatened to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on a U.S. citizen selling Mexican food.
Oscar Lopez told NBC 4's Tracey Leong that he shared the video on social media after the woman repeatedly drove past his food stand in Palmdale, California.
"It's illegal to have a Mexican flag and not an American one!" the woman could be heard shouting. "I'm calling ICE!"
"She started screaming all these things. It was very racial, especially against Mexicans, and also that she was going to call ICE," Lopez recalled. "It was very, I don't know, very scary at the moment."
"She mentioned the flag not being with an American flag on the side," he said. "And the reason of the Mexican flag is the food that we sell. It's nothing else trying to do anything else with it."

Lopez was born in the United States. His wife is from El Salvador. The couple's food truck specializes in serving Mexican cuisine.
"I think as a Hispanic and the culture that we live in, we should appreciate each and every good food from every country," Lopez said. "I would like everybody to be aware of [what's] going on."
