Therese Patricia Okoumou became somewhat of a national treasure when she scaled the Statue of Liberty on July 4 to protest Donald Trump’s ”zero tolerance” immigration policy. And it seems the political activist is not entirely done making a statement.

According to Yahoo, Okoumou — who was charged with trespassing, disorderly conduct, and interference with governmental administration – was in court on Friday for a procedural hearing and she made quite the fashion statement trolling Melania Trump’s by wearing a dress that had “I really care, why won’t u?” written on the front and back.

Okoumou spoke to a group of reporters and supporters after the 40-minute hearing. on Friday.

“America, you motherf***ers, you drug addicts, you KKK, you fascist USA,” she chanted during a press conference:

Her next court date scheduled for Oct. 1.
