Protesters demanding for abolishing immigration and customs enforcement arrested

Pitching for abolishing immigration and customs enforcement from the Statue of Liberty's pedestal on Independence Day of the United States, protesters hanged a banner of their demands and scaled the statue’s base. Several people have been arrested in this connection. National Park Service spokesman Jerry Willis informed that a protester was seen at the base beneath the statue's foot around 4 p.m. Wednesday. The police officials were atop the base, and urged the man to go down. It's unclear whether the climb is related to the earlier banner demonstration.
