Dress designer and shop owner in Occoquan, Virginiais lost after a bizarre encounter with a local woman who called the police on her boutique for demonstrating her First Amendment rights by hanging Trump signs out front.

Andre Soriano, a workshop dress designer who is well-known for curating the singer-songwriter “Make America Great Again” dress. Villa Joy wore to the 2017 Grammy Awards, has received a legal notice to remove signs supporting former President Trump from his business.

“We actually started a flag war here in Occoquan, Virginia,” Soriano told Fox News Digital during a video interview.

Soriano said that while the first moments of the meeting were pleasant, almost immediately he was met with irrationality and reactions to the patriotic decor perched in front of the store.

“The reason I put my Trump dress outside is so I don’t have to run into (it),” Soriano said.

Audra Johnson, a political activist and friend of Soriano’s, recorded the run and posted it on social media after texting her for help with the scene.

“I have video of her hiding in a bush,” Johnson told Fox News Digital. “I don’t know what he was doing.”

The two said the woman was crying hysterically in the street and called the police. A single officer removed the woman from the store’s entrance and Johnson said she was taken to a local restaurant to “calm her down.”

“As an American citizen, as a first amendment in our great nation, you can express yourself by putting your signs in your home and expressing who you are as an individual, whether it’s religion, whether it’s politics or whatever you feel, without hurting . anyone,” Soriano said. “That’s just the freedom of artistic expression and being free in America, and these days, you can’t even express that.”

Soriano and Johnson live in the residences above the store. After being cited by the city to remove Signs of support for Trump out of business, they suspended them from their houses, despite the fact that they had been hanged years before the incident.

However, they were cited a second time to remove some, but not all, of the signs.

“We try our best not to get fines we can’t pay,” Johnson said.

“We follow the rules,” Soriano said. “We don’t disrespect anyone.”

The business owner is horrified by the ordinance because he believes America is “the land of the free, not the land of what people think.”

“I’m an American designer,” Soriano said. “I am free to express and create whatever I want.”

Soriano, originally from the Philippines, said his mother immigrated the family to America when he was a teenager to live the American dream.

“I love America,” Soriano said.

The fashion designer said he was once hired by stars, including RihannaPharrell Williams, Miley Cyrus and Courtney Love, but was blacklisted when he designed the infamous ‘MAGA’ dress in 2017.

“That’s when our lives changed,” he said. “I’ve had death threats.”

“There are a lot of celebrities in Hollywood who are very divided and they didn’t like President Trump very much,” Soriano said.

The creative director added that he lost friends, clients and potential business opportunities in California.

Johnson was blacklisted as a stage and film actress when she was photographed marching at Rosa Parks Circle in Grand Rapids, Michigan with a sign reading “Trump is your president.”

“We are in an industry where we can’t just say what we want or how we feel,” Johnson said.

“We don’t fit the mold.”
