The climb prompted a massive police response on a night when resources were needed to keep the city’s Fourth of July celebrations secure.
“(Okoumou) staged a dangerous stunt that alarmed the public and endangered her own life and the lives of the (New York Police Department) officers who responded to the scene,” U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman said in a statement.
Thousands of visitors were escorted off Liberty Island during the drama.
“Hopefully, they know that there are people, like Patricia, out there trying to protect their civil liberties,” Okoumou’s attorney Rhiya Trivedi said Thursday.

Travel from wherever just to stand in line, for probably hours, and have this bonehead ruin everything? I'm looking for compensation after all that. Off to court I go...
Has it been revealed whether this airbrain from the Congo is here legally?
Take names.
Leftists owe us reparations.
This could easily have been a diversion to cover MASSIVE terror attacks in New York City during the celebrations of the Fourth.
Now the terrorists will KNOW that a certain amount of resources will be paralyzed by stunts like this.
If a Green Card holder, send her back to her native crap hole.
Q: Why are there no knock-knock jokes about freedom?
A: Because freedom rings.
There’s lotsa nuts out there.
This idiot had a press conference, at which she said she admired Michelle Obama. And quoted when Michelle said when they go low we go high. And she wanted to go as high as she could. And her idiot fans cheered her saying that.
And here I always thought Michelle Obama was speaking metaphorically about going high..........
I’m all for a little light hearted social disruption now and again, makes life interesting, though she had to know the consequences. She should have hired a PR agent to announce her intent (after she started of course, they would have tried to stop her otherwise) and had some media out there - had she planned a little more it would have avoided all the panic.
The statue is old and liable to damage. This was not classy.
This could easily have been a diversion
Very chilling point
Convict and deport her!
Is there anything she can be charged with that upon conviction would rescind her citizenship? It would be sweet Justice to send her back to the Congo.
Which is why Trump said just get a net and wait.
Now a real stunt might be to attach a helium balloon to the torch.
She pleads not guilty!!!! She is on video and arrested, good grief.
Sue her and her group, and take the money to pay for all the crap she has caused.
DEPORT HER. After a long jail sentence.
At one time, a person like this might have been put in the stocks so those whose holiday she ruined could come by and give her a few whacks.
No problem. Just send her a bill for the man hours she caused to be run up.
A few thousand dollars should fit the situation nicely.
oooh! Cool! This means there could be a trial and should could do jail time if found guilty. I’m in. Let’s see her 15 minutes of fame turn into 90 days in jail.
Deportation is the only reasonable thing to do. She’s a professional troublemaker, doesn’t appear to have any respect for the law or the country, and will with 100% certainty be more trouble in the future such that we will wish we had deported her to begin with.
I don’t know why all these Stone Agers think that they need to come to the U.S. to break bad. She should have stayed home in her own ****hole and broke bad with the government there. Unfortunately, she’s a coward with a big mouth and wouldn’t dare pull this stunt in her own country. She could end up in somebody’s soup pot.
