"Therese Okoumou was convicted in federal court today for a dangerous stunt last July 4th that endangered herself and the NYPD and U.S. Park Police officers who rescued and apprehended her," U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman said in a statement.

"The act of climbing the base of the Statue of Liberty went well beyond peaceable protest, a right we certainly respect. It was a crime that put people at grave risk.“
Okoumou testified on her own behalf and got choked up, saying images of parents being separated from children at the border gave her nightmares.
The prosecutor argued that Okoumou endangered herself, rescuers and thousands of Liberty Island visitors when she climbed to the feet of the statue.

The incident forced authorities to evacuate Liberty Island.
