From Fox News: Dozens of protesters gathered on the steps of the federal courthouse in downtown San Antonio on June 11, waving Mexican flags and signs with slogans like “Keep our city neat — no ICE.” In front of them stood a tattoo-covered man wearing an obscene t-shirt and holding his own cardboard sign, on which he’d handwritten “Come to my show @ LOL on June 15.”
Heads turned. Confusion turned to anger. The next day, Justin Governale said he saw photos of himself on local social media pages, labeled a “known agitator” by protesters who urged others to “share his face.”
“I was like, ‘Yeah, keep sharing my face. Let’s go,'” Governale joked to Fox News Digital. “Free promotion.”
Governale, a former Marine scout sniper, garnered a surge of online attention after crashing demonstrations against ICE and President Donald Trump last week in San Antonio to advertise his comedy show. Many felt he wasn’t taking the issue of mass deportations and workplace raids seriously enough.
“So many people on the left… were arguing with me,” Governale said.

The liberal outrage was real.
“Families are being separated and broken apart, meanwhile this guy is using it to publicize himself, sad,” one Instagram user commented on Governale’s video.
An X user wondered if he was actually being a “cool dude” or grifting.
People around him were also unhappy with his sign, Governale told Fox News.
Governale says people often make false assumptions about him. His mother was a migrant worker from Mexico who became a citizens when Governale was 11 years old.
“When she became an American citizen, she was so freaking proud,” he said. “I’m very fortunate to be here.”
