A woman identified as Therese Patricia Okoumou has climbed up to the robes of the Statue of Liberty to protest the separation of migrant families. Therese Patricia Okoumou climbs base of the Statue of Liberty in protest lailasnews 2 Authorities had tried to talk the woman down but she refused to leave. For nearly three hours, she crossed the base of the statue, at times sitting in the folds of the statue's dress and under Lady Liberty's sandal. Therese Patricia Okoumou was part of a group of protesters and had declared that she wouldn't come down until "all the children are released," a source with the New York Police Department said. About 16 officers with the New York City Police Department's Emergency Service Unit -- a team trained to perform some of the most dangerous rescues in the city -- took part in the rescue/apprehension effort, Officer Brian Glacken said in a news conference Wednesday evening. "At first, she wasn't friendly with us, but we took the time to get a rapport with her so that took a while," said Glacken. "She just kind of mentioned the kids in Texas. I guess the whole debate that's going on about that. In the beginning, she threatened to push us off, push the ladder off, but we stayed with her," Glacken added. Finally, officers with ropes and climbing gear reached her. "At first she was being a little combative, then she was willing to cooperate with us. She actually apologized to us for having to go up and get her," Glacken told reporters. Officers put a harness and ropes on her to bring her down, and she crossed to the other side of the statue with the officers where a ladder was propped up on the base of the statue. https://lailasnews.com/therese-patricia-okoumou-climbs-base-of-the-statue-of-liberty-to-protest-migrant-family-separations/ lalasticlala
