A MAGA supporter who went viral for getting beaten up by a group of of high school students was arrested for allegedly assaulting a teen girl who was part of a protest against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Texas police have identified 45-year-old Chad Michael Watts of Kyle as the primary aggressor in the violent confrontation with a minor during a student-led anti-ICE protest. Watts now faces two counts of assault causing bodily injury, according to CBS Austin. Both Watts and the girl he allegedly attacked reported minor injuries but declined medical evaluation.
