A site in New Orleans where the statue of a Confederate leader once stood continues to elicit controversy, this time relative to the modern controversy over the Trump administration's enforcement of immigration laws.
At some point late Tuesday or early Wednesday (July 4), vandals spray-painted the pedestal that once held P.G.T. Beauregard equestrian statue near the City Park entrance at Esplanade and North Carrollton avenues. The messages "Defend Kids Not Fascism" was written on one side of the base, and "NOLA is Preaux Migrant" was on the other. "Melt ICE," referencing Immigration and Customs Enforcement, was sprayed on the front of the pedestal.
The messages appeared amid continued scrutiny of President Donald Trump's zero-tolerance policy forcing the separation of families crossing the border.

just making tons of enemies
Yep, ISIS, AKA known as Antifa, strikes again. They are the radical extremist arm of the Democrat Party.
The Trump Haters will hate.
Should the FEC make a record of this group’s in-kind contribution to the Trump 2020 campaign?
Petty vandals!
Geez what assbags! The Statue is gone but the spite remains!
I met an old Korean war Vet today and asked him about his service, he said he was stationed out of Noerleans
He said that place was cray cray when he was there in the 50s
Insult to injury.
Where was the outrage when Zer0 separated 34,000 children in 2014?
Obama’s DHS Secretary to Chris Wallace on 06/24/2018.
“JOHNSON: Well, Chris, without a doubt the images and the reality from 2014 just like 2018 are not pretty. And so, we expanded family detention. We had then 34,000 beds for family detention, only 95 of 34,000 equipped to deal with families.
So, we extended it. I freely admit it was controversial. We believed it was necessary at the time. I still believe it is necessary to name (ph) a certain capability for families. We can’t have catch and release and in my three years we deported, or repatriated or returned over a million people”
34,000 beds.
JUST 95 FOR FAMILIES. It’s time for Democrats to admit this is not the first time it was done. It is necessary.
Where are the cameras to catch these people?
I’m sure they got this on camera. There are cameras everywhere.
Sigh. Btw, if i recall, he was not the best general either. Correct me if I am wrong.
He was a great guy at reconciliation.
How admirable and uplifting the leftists are to our society.
Makes you want to be just like them, doesn’t it?
Maybe Joe and Mika can spray paint their names on the pedestal.
Yeah looks so much better now without the statue. Democraps, the only group that can take a shine and turn it into shitola!
Democrats put them up and now democrats are taking them down.
That is good to know, and I am now recalling that being the case.
