In an August 2019 Tucson City Council meeting, officials discussed whether or not to include a measure on the November ballot that would allow residents to vote on making Tucson a so-called sanctuary city for immigrants.

In a video of the meeting posted by Twitter user Nick VinZant, two protesters can be seen interrupting, appearing to be in support of President Trump's stance on immigration. Alex Kack, an attendee of the meeting, can also be seen in the video, laughing at their protests.

The video of "green shirt guy," as Kack has been dubbed, has since gone viral, people chiming in with support.

Even celebrities like Chrissy Teigen and Mark Ruffalo shared their love for #GreenShirtGuy.

Not only are celebrities taking notice, but the iconic green shirt he was wearing has since sold out on Nordstrom's website.

The shirt is currently the No. 1 seller on Amazon for men's contemporary and designer polo shirts. Penguin also tweeted Kack offering to send him some free shirts.

Since the video went viral on Twitter, Kack has come forward to talk about why he laughed in that moment, and why he supports Tucson becoming a so-called sanctuary city for immigrants.

"Ultimately I think the majority of this country, regardless of their political affiliation, understands that the loudest voices happening right now are kind of ridiculous," he said in an interview with Tucson News 4. "And I think that laughter is resonating because I think that's kind of how people feel right now."

"I think it's a bold statement of morality that our community needs to make," Kack told Mashable about the measure. "Families deserve to be together and all people deserve the right to feel safe."
