New Orleans police are trying to track down those who spray painted messages early Wednesday on the base of a former Confederate monument.
The pro-immigration messages included "Defend kids, not fascism" and "Melt ICE" which refers to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The vandalism follows recent protests aimed at the separation of children from parents who illegally crossed into the U.S. from Mexico.
