• Last month, a New York City couple was denied access to the Statue of Liberty because they were wearing T-shirts that said "Abolish ICE," Gothamist reports.
• The National Parks Service has now said that not allowing the couple to complete their prepaid tour was a "misstep," per the outlet.
• Tiffany Huang told Gothamist she'd never been to the monument before, but felt compelled to make a statement following the Trump administration's controversial family separation policy.
• Afterward, the couple contacted the New York Civil Liberties Union, who got in contact with the NPS.
• The couple will return the statue on Friday, Huang said.
