Liberty Island and the Statue Of Liberty are currently being evacuated following unconfirmed reports of a 'suspicious package.' A National Parks Service spokesperson confirmed that they were doing security sweeps and that there is an evacuation happening, but could not immediately say why. You can see video of that below.
