(CNN) Shia LaBeouf's anti-Trump live stream has been shut down.

The Museum of the Moving Image in New York announced Friday that they decided to close the "HEWILLNOTDIVIDE.US," exhibit because it poses an "ongoing public safety hazard for the Museum, its visitors, staff, local residents, and businesses."
