At least five men and women were ejected from a rowdy Anaheim City Council meeting Tuesday for interrupting the public comments of people on both sides of a proposed resolution opposing President Donald J. Trump’s executive order banning immigration from seven Muslim-majority nations.

Four members of the group We the People Rising, an anti-illegal immigration group, who are also supporters of Trump, were ejected for disruptive commentary during public comments. A fifth person, Jeanine Robbins, was ejected for throwing a crumpled speaker card at a member of We the People Rising.

The fracas blew up toward the end of public comments, after a man, who only gave his first name, Cyrus, finished his comments defending the ban. “You can call this indigenous land but that doesn’t mean you have to flood the country with one hundred million of these third world immigrants and we have to subsidize their lifestyle,” Cyrus said, prompting a man from the audience to shout, “Shut up!”

“Escort this man out, he interrupted me!” demanded Cyrus, who had interrupted several previous speakers.
