PHOENIX - A YouTube video gaining traction on the web shows the desecration of a U.S. flag at the Arizona Capitol.

In the clip, you can hear the national anthem play in the background as protesters unfurl both a U.S. and Arizona flag.

The YouTube video shows at least two messages spray-painted onto the U.S. flag: "Impeach Brewer" and "Deport Arpaio."

It's unclear when the video was recorded, however it was posted Sunday.

 

 

Arizona's controversial new immigration law went into effect last Thursday, although many of the most controversial parts of the bill were blocked by a federal judge.

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has appealed those blocks.
