Izaac Zevalking's handcuffed Statue of Liberty mural in Las Vegas

A mural depicting the Statue of Liberty handcuffed and bent over a car hood driven by immigration officials appeared on a wall in downtown Las Vegas. The artwork responds to the Trump administration's stricter Green Card rules for immigrants who have used public benefits. Created by American-British artist Izaac Zevalking, founder of Recycled Propaganda, the piece aims to draw parallels with America's immigrant-founded past and provoke discussion on current immigration policies. Zevalking told KTNV that the current political climate makes it the right time for such awareness actions. The mural joins other artist responses to anti-immigrant sentiment, such as Ronald Rael's Teetertotter Wall, which installed seesaws across the US-Mexico border fence.
