"He Will Not Divide Us" - Shia LaBeouf's anti-Trump protest has been shut down in Liverpool after just one day.
The project, which originated in New York on the day of Donald Trump#s inauguration, originally featured a live stream of protesters repeatedly chanting "He Will Not Divide Us"
However it only lasted in New York for a little under a month after it became a flashpoint for violence. LaBeouf himself was seen to almost get involved in a physical fracas at one point. The protest was then moved to a cinema in Albuquerque, New Mexico, but that too had to be removed due to reports of gunshots near the venue.
Liverpool was the third location to host the protest. On Wednesday, the city's Foundation for Art and Creative Technology (Fact) centre announced that they would be displaying the project but that it would take the form of a white flag with the words "He Will Not Divide Us" printed on it.
However after just one day, the gallery released a statement on Twitter, announcing that they will be shutting it down on police advice due to dangerous and illegal trespassing.
On police advice, FACT and LaBeouf, Rönkkö & Turner have removed the installation HEWILLNOTDIVIDE.US due to dangerous, illegal trespassing.

A group of people that are believed to be members of the Alt-Right group attempted to remove the flag from the FACT building.
