National Park Service police are investigating after a giant "Refugees Welcome" banner was illegally attached to the Statue of Liberty on Tuesday.

　　星期二，一幅巨大的写着“欢迎难民”的横幅悬挂在自由女神像上，国家公园管理局的警察正在对此非法事件展开调查。

　　The 3ft by 20ft banner was placed across the observation deck on statue’s pedestal on Liberty Island, New York.

　　3英尺乘20英尺的横幅被悬挂在位于纽约自由岛的女神像基座的观景台上。

　　The banner was removed by park rangers a little more than an hour later.

　　横幅在一个多小时后被公园护林员撤下。

　　It happened on the day that the Department of Homeland Security announced expanded immigration enforcement policies.

　　这发生在国土安全部宣布扩大移民执法政策的那一天。

　　Attaching items to the national monument, a symbol of American acceptance of immigrants, is strictly prohibited, National Park Service spokesman Jerry Willis said.

　　国家公园管理局发言人杰里·威利斯说，严格禁止将物品附着到这个象征着美国接受移民的国家纪念碑上。

　　In an email to local news station NBC 4 New York, an entity calling itself the Alt Statue of Liberty claimed responsibility.

　　在向当媒体纽约NBC 4发送的电子邮件中，一个自称是“自由女神像”的实体宣称对此事负责。

　　"We have no formal group, just private citizens who felt like we needed to say something about the America we believe in," the email reportedly stated.

　　“我们没有正式的团体，只有作为个人的公民，我们觉得我们需要表达我们相信的美国是什么样的，”电子邮件这样写道。

　　The stunt quickly became a popular topic of debate on social media, with Twitter users suggesting that the Statue of Liberty itself represents a nation that welcomes refugees.

　　此事很快成为社交媒体争论的热门话题，推特用户称，自由女神像本身就代表着这是一个欢迎难民的国家。

　　It comes as the Trump administration announced a plan on Tuesday to widen the net for deporting illegal immigrants to the US.

　　特朗普政府周二宣布扩大网络驱逐美国非法移民的计划。

　　Mr Trump is also expected this week to announce a revised executive order aimed at cracking down on immigration after a previous order was suspended by the courts.

　　特朗普还预计本周将公布修订后的行政命令，旨在在法院暂停上一次命令后打击移民。
