A Democratic Party official in Arizona resigned from his party post and lost his job after joining a mob that confronted two girls accused of posing for photos with federal immigration enforcement agents, according to the Arizona Republic.
Mark Holodnak, who served as treasurer for the Democratic Party Executive Committee for Legislative District 12, was captured on video shouting profanities at the girls as a crowd followed them through a parking lot. The confrontation occurred Monday and was recorded by RedState.com reporter R.C. Maxwell. After the video circulated online, it triggered widespread backlash and calls for Holodnak to be fired, the Arizona Republic reported.
In the video, Holodnak is seen yelling “you little f**king c*nts!” at the girls as they walk away and shut a gate behind them. A woman in the crowd is later heard saying “and that’s what happens when you support racist motherf**kers,” after the girls fled. Maxwell attempted to question Holodnak following the exchange, but Holodnak left the scene.
Following the video’s release, HomeSmart, a real estate company Holodnak was affiliated with, announced that he had been terminated. In a statement posted multiple times on X, the company said it was aware of the incident and stated that Holodnak’s behavior did not reflect its culture or values, adding that he was no longer affiliated with the company.
Holodnak also resigned from his position as treasurer of the LD12 Executive Committee. In comments to the Arizona Republic, he expressed regret for his actions, apologized to the two individuals involved, and said he did not want the incident to reflect on the work of the legislative district committee.
The confrontation took place against the backdrop of protests against immigration enforcement in the area. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement carried out raids Monday at multiple locations of Zipps Sports Grill as part of a months-long criminal investigation. Homeland Security Investigations arrested nearly three dozen illegal aliens across 14 locations, citing alleged violations including unlawful employment of aliens, identity theft, and document fraud, according to a statement provided to Fox 10 Phoenix.
Protesters gathered as federal agents executed search warrants, and several Democratic officials criticized the Trump administration’s handling of the operation. Arizona Democratic Rep. Yassamin Ansari and Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs both spoke out against the raids, Fox 10 Phoenix reported.

Good for these young women. They are the most victimized demographic of illegals.
Those who fight against lawful actions and use disgusting language are NOT need or wanted either in this country or in any governmental position.
After saying that, I certainly wish that Trump, who I am otherwise in favor of, would clean up his use of ‘bad’ language, too.
