There are times when the authorities have more to do than run around policing such offences, this in no way reduces the wrongfulness of the act, good manners alone, should have decreed that he fly the Mexican flag below that of the Star and Stripes whilst within the US and of course vice versa if he were in Mexico.
It was a blatant slap in the face to all US citizens, pure and simple. The business operator got what he asked for. What I ask is "why is he surprised"?

Rudeness yes. Infraction of published law.Yes.
I'm looking it from a different perspective than you are.
If I had gotten that call. By his phoning the media and then waiting waiting for the media before acting. I as the responding officer can more than articulate in my report that he acted with intent and or premeditation to commit a statutory violation. In those circumstances I would have no choice but to arrest him. Whether or not I agreed with or was supportive of his point of view. Or whether or not he was acting against a breach of the law in regards to improper display of the flag.
I'm not saying that it in anyway decreases the violation. But I see nowhere where he contacted the authorities. Marsh had the best answer call the cops let them speak to him. If he refuses (he probably wouldn't if it was done right) then pursue it thru the district attorneys office and let them sort it out with the US District Attorney.
