Clothing designer and store owner in Occoquan, Virginiais distraught following a bizarre encounter with a local woman who called the police to his store for demonstrating her First Amendment rights by hanging Trump signs out front.

Andre Soriano, an atelier dress designer well known for organizing the “Make America Great Again” dress, singer-songwriter Villa Joy worn at the 2017 Grammy Awards, received a legal notice requiring him to remove signs supporting former President Trump from his business.

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

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

“The reason I put my Trump dress on outside is so I don’t have to encounter (that),” Soriano said.

Audra Johnson, a political activist and friend of Soriano, recorded the race and posted it on social media after he texted her for help at the scene.

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

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

“As an American citizen, under the First Amendment of our great nation, you can express yourself by putting up your signs in your home and expressing who you are as an individual, whether it be religion, politics or whatever you feel, without harming anyone,” Soriano said. “It’s just freedom of artistic expression and being free in America, and in this day and age you can’t even express that.”

Soriano and Johnson live in the residences above the store. After being cited by the city to remove the Signs of support for Trump from the company, they suspended them from home, even though they had been hanged years before the incident.

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

“We’re just doing our best not to get fines that we can’t pay,” Johnson said.

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

The business owner is dismayed by the order 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 her family to America when he was a teenager to live the American dream.

“I love America,” Soriano said.

The fashion designer said he had previously been employed by stars, including RihannaPharrell Williams, Miley Cyrus and Courtney Love, but was blacklisted when he designed the infamous 2017 “MAGA” dress.

“That’s when our lives changed,” he said. “We received death threats.”

“There are a lot of celebrities in Hollywood who are divisive and don’t really like President Trump,” Soriano said.

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

Johnson was also blacklisted as a stage and screen 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 what we feel,” Johnson said.

“We don’t fit the mold.”
