Feb. 22 (UPI) -- National Park Service employees removed a sign reading "Refugees Welcome" that activists placed on the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty.
The sign, red with white lettering and approximately 20 feet by 3 feet in size, was seen attached to the statue in New York City at about 1 p.m. Tuesday. A group called Alt Lady Liberty took responsibility for the sign, later sending an email supportive of refugees, CNN reported.
