NEW YORK, NY - After living in the United States for over a hundred years, the French-born Statue of Liberty was detained and deported Tuesday by direct order of President Donald Trump, sources confirmed.

The deportation of the iconic statue is just the latest development from the immigration order signed by President Trump his second week in office which could potentially be used to expel millions of immigrants currently living in the United States.

President Trump has taken to Twitter to comment on the situation:
