Despite the fact that other protesters are disclaiming her, it’s clear she’s a protester too.
Via Fox News:
At least one person is reportedly scaling the Statue of Liberty after an “Abolish ICE” protest resulted in multiple arrests.
The person appears to be sitting near the feet of Lady Liberty, as seen in helicopter video footage. National Park Service spokesman Jerry Willis says police are trying to persuade the climber to descend.

The park was shut down and is being evacuated as a precaution, an official told Fox News.
Earlier Wednesday, at least six people were arrested after they hung a banner emblazoned with a message about abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty.
