Mexicans celebrating an Easter ritual have burnt effigies of US Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump, whose anti-immigrant views have sparked outrage south of the American border.
In Mexico City's poor La Merced neighbourhood, hundreds of cheering residents yelled "death" and various insults late on Saturday as they watched the explosion of the grinning papier-mache mock-up of the real estate tycoon, replete with blue blazer, red tie and his trademark tuft of blond hair.
Media reported that Trump effigies burned across Mexico, from Puebla to Mexico's industrial hub Monterrey.
The burning is part of a widespread Mexican Holy Week tradition where neighbourhoods burn effigies to represent Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus Christ according to the Bible. The effigies are often modelled on unpopular political figures.
