Park Service spokesman, Jerry Willis said the 3-by-20-foot banner was hung from the public observation deck at the top of the statue’s pedestal Tuesday afternoon.
A New York Daily report indicates that Activist group, Alt Lady Liberty claimed responsibility for installing the banner to mock Trump administration’s controversial travel ban on 7 Muslim countries.
The banner which appeared a day after the Department of Homeland Security announced expanded immigration enforcement policies, was taken down one hour later.
