National Park Service police are investigating after a giant "Refugees Welcome" banner was illegally attached to the Statue of Liberty on Tuesday Feb 21,2017
The 3ft by 20ft banner was placed across the observation deck on statue's pedestal on Liberty Island, New York.
The banner was removed by park rangers a little more than an hour later.
It happened on the day that the Department of Homeland Security announced expanded immigration enforcement policies.
Attaching items to the national monument, a symbol of American acceptance of immigrants, is strictly prohibited, National Park Service spokesman Jerry Willis said.
