    Parks spokesman Jerry Willis says the 3 by 20-foot banner was hung from the public observation deck at the top of the pedestal just after noon on Tuesday. It was taken down more than an hour later.

    Willis says regulations prohibit anything fixed to the statue.

    The stunt happened the same day the Homeland Security Department announced expanded immigration enforcement policies.

    Why is it so difficult to understand that the objection is not to immigrants but to illegal immigrants and the criminal element among them that aims to wreak havoc on the good people of our great country? The liberals and neverTrumpers are so blinded by their hatred that they can’t see or think straight.
