Trump Jr's Skittles graphic deleted from Twitter
In its place, is a message saying it has been removed following a "report from the copyright holder".
The image included a photo of the multi-coloured sweets taken by a UK-based man, who is himself a refugee.
Donald Trump Jr's post caused a furore when it was published last week, and was Twitter's highest trending item.
The graphic was based on an earlier image-less tweet by the radio talk-show host Joe Walsh.
He had alluded to the idea that some refugees posed a threat, likening this to a situation in which a person was presented with a bowl of Skittles, some of which were poisonous.
"Would you take a handful?" Trump Jr's graphic asked. "That's our Syrian refugee problem."
Following the post, Guildford-based David Kittos revealed the graphic had used an image taken from his Flickr account without his permission, and filed a complaint.
