Woman Scales Statue of Liberty After Protestors Hang “Abolish ICE” Banner

An unidentified woman marked Independence Day by scaling the Statue of Liberty Wednesday (July 4) in a reported protest that forced authorities to temporarily close and evacuate Liberty Island where the national monument resides.

Lady Liberty is used to having visitors, but the holiday turned out to be busier than expected after at least six protestors from New York-based direct action group, Rise and Resist, were arrested for hanging an “Abolish ICE” sign on the pedestal of the massive statue.

The action was meant to call attention to the President Donald Trump’s  “brutal racist immigration policy,” and to demand that “Trump and the GOP reunite families now, halt deportations, and end detention as a deterrent.”

Leon Kirschner, a member of Rise and Resist, said in a blog post that ICE has proven to be “a threat to our liberty and way of life,” and that it should be “abolished.”

“They go after the most vulnerable among us, acting without due process to detain people. This has to stop now,” Kirschner said.

Rise and Resist was founded in response to the 2016 presidential election. The group denies any “connection” to the woman who climbed the Statue of Liberty, although she was seen holding up a “Rise and Resist” T-shirt with the words “Trumpcare Makes Us Suck,” written on the back.

According to CNN, the woman said that she refused to come down until “the children are released,” in reference to immigrant children being separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border, and detained.
