The woman who ruined the 4th of July for thousands of tourists and put dozens of officer’s lives at risk to demand America have open borders has been identified as 44-year-old Therese Patricia Okoumou, an immigrant from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Though Okoumou’s protest demanded ICE be abolished, all deportations be halted and detaining illegals be outlawed, she’s actually the poster child for why we need ICE and a massive deportation force.
From the NY Post:
According to court records, [Therese Patricia Okoumou is] a Congolese immigrant who once filed a complaint with the New York City Commission on Human Rights — seeking a judicial review and reversal of a “determination” it made regarding alleged incidents of abuse that Okoumou suffered at the hands of a social services agency on Staten Island where she worked.
Specifically, Okoumou claimed that in 2005 she was treated “in a demeaning manner” by her bosses and told that she would be fired “for complaining of discrimination.” It’s unclear why her complaint was tossed out.
It was probably tossed out because she didn’t understand you have to prove “discrimination” rather than merely file a suit and get free taxpayer money because you screamed racism.
In 2011, Okoumou made headlines after she was hit with an astounding 60 violations for illegally posting ads for her services as a personal trainer.
The Department of Sanitation slapped her with $4,500 in fines that year after she spent five hours one Sunday posting the fliers on Manhattan utility poles.
In 2013, she was arrested and charged with obstructing governmental administration, unlawful assembly and trespassing during a demonstration at the Department of Labor building on Varick Street. She had allegedly covered her mouth with tape and refused to respond to police demands.
On Wednesday, Okoumou told investigators that she was part of a group protest organized by Rise and Resist NYC. The activists unfurled a banner on Liberty Island less than an hour before her climb, which read: “ABOLISH ICE.”
Leftists are hailing the Democratic Socialist as their new hero:
My girl is perched on the STATUE. OF. LIBERTY. Pink sneakers, legs crossed giving the side eye, protesting this country’s awfulness on July 4th. Black women are amazing. https://t.co/MZ1esoSvQg

Therese Patricia Okoumou is America’s 4th of July hero. By climbing the Statue of Liberty, she stood for the children and showed us what freedom stands for. But now she lost her own. Let’s ensure she has funds for bail and gets the best lawyers to fight all her criminal charges.

Today, Therese Patricia Okoumou, a Congolese immigrant, scaled the Statue of Liberty and said she would not be moved until all the children detained from ICE were released.

She was with the group “Rise and Resist” who called for an end to all deportations and said illegals should be above the law and shielded from being detained:

As the NY Post reports, “Organizers initially tried distancing themselves from Okoumou’s Statue of Liberty stunt — saying she had ‘no connection’ to their cause — but later admitted that she was part of the group.”
Leftists are a disloyal bunch. After they realized how terrible it looked to throw their “comrade” under the bus they changed their tune.
The members of Rise and Resist have listened to the criticism of the statement we released earlier Wednesday evening. On reflection, we realize that in our haste to complete the statement so that we could continue working to secure the best legal representation for Patricia, (1)

Okoumou is the new face of the Democratic Party. Non-citizens paralyzing our society and putting lives in jeopardy to demand we open our borders to the world — all while telling us we have no right to a country of our own.
Therese Patricia Okoumou came to US 10 years ago from Congo.
