Liberty Island and the Statue of Liberty were evacuated on July 4 after a woman scaled the base of the statue. Earlier, a group called Rise and Resist had dropped a sign that read “Abolish ICE” from the statue’s base, according to local media.“We’ve had two unusual events occur back-to-back,” National Park Service spokesman Jerry Willis told local media. “So for the safety and security of our visitors, we decided to evacuate for the day.”It was not immediately clear why the woman had climbed the statue.
