There are five monumental Iwo Jima statues.

The iconic, massive 100-ton bronze statue officially known as the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial is located at Arlington Ridge Park outside Arlington National Cemetery.

The one that got attacked is in Quantico, VA. It is a smaller version made from one of the artist's historical casts

The other three smaller versions are located in Harlingen, TX; Parris Island; and San Diego.
And the only visible face, is a United States Navy Hospital Corpsman!

Want to really piss someone off? frick with a Corpsman with his Marines around, or intend to hurt Marines with their Corpsman around.

Didn’t Trump enact a mandatory 10 year federal sentence for destroying statues?

No the people building statues of fat black women should seek help, not anyone who happens to notice the phenomenon.

DACA, I still chuckle. A few years back there was a DACA who traveled to Mexico (I think he had done it several times under biden). You are not allowed to without granted written permission and not for leisure. So he is a ride share driver, takes some guy to Mexico, turns around and cant get back in.

This clown says he just took a wrong turn. You would think when he saw the 10 "immigrant crossing" signs they have on the highway it might be a clue. Or the dozens of exit signs. Or the fact he can tell border patrol and they will let him turn around.

He is in detention, has been for months, and we arent giving an inch. Guy is married to a US citizen and his second kid is due. And he may just be back on his way to El Salvador.

Flaunt US law and pay the price ya knucklehead.

He's from Meh-hee-ko.

Is this on a base?

I've never been to Quantico.

Let me guess- there's a Soros association here somewhere, right?

Sentence should have been him in a closed room with about 10 Marines armed only with paperclips. Justice would have been served.
