A vintage clothing store in Nashville is facing blowback after displaying explicit anti-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) signs in its front windows.
Backslide Vintage, located on Gallatin Pike in Nashville, displayed the word “LOVE” on its front windows comprised of small pink and white hearts that each have “F*** ICE” written on them.
The store posted a photo of its display from a distance on its social media accounts earlier this month, with the caption, “Our love has a strong message as to who we are, what we stand for, and how we show up for our community. #iceout”

Last week, the conservative social media account Libs of TikTok posted a video of the display, highlighting the profane anti-ICE language written on the small paper hearts.
Hours later, the store’s owner, Zach Smith, posted a video across the store’s social media accounts claiming the Libs of TikTok video caused his business to begin receiving “a lot of one star” Google reviews from “hateful conservative people.”
“We had a wonderful kind concerned citizen call us this morning and let us know that we have been posted on a hate account called Libs of TikTok and now we’re being bombed on our Google reviews by a bunch of hateful conservative people who just wish to destroy the business,” Smith said.
“We’re getting a lot of one star reviews just based on political beliefs right now because people have nothing better to do,” he added, calling on his customers to counter the influx of negative reviews with positive five or four-star reviews.
“Don’t let the t*rrorists win; please share,” the video was captioned.
In addition to its anti-ICE “LOVE” sign featured in its display windows, the vintage clothing store has also advertised it is giving away free graphic stickers that say “F*** ICE.”

Funny how the most so-called “loving” people – as the Marxist left claims to be – are the most hateful, deranged, violent, profane and psychotic individuals imaginable when you dare to question their disordered worldview.
The store has the right to voice their opinion, just as the rest of us have the right to voice our opposition to it.
If you don’t support law and order, please move to another country.
