With Donald Trump's immigration ban targeting refugees from Muslim countries, the words of the Statue of Liberty don't seem to burn with the same fervor they did before. A darkness has fallen upon the country's role as a refuge -- a reality magazines around the world are showing through dark, sometimes violent depictions of America under Trump.

The New Yorker has released a solemn, rather depressing image of the Statue of Liberty for its issue next week. Her flame, much like the U.S.'s role as a refuge for those around the world, has been extinguished.

Françoise Mouly, the magazine's art editor, explained that the cover -- entitled "Liberty's Flameout" -- is a "response to the opening weeks of the Trump administration, particularly the executive order on immigration."

"It used to be that the Statue of Liberty, and her shining torch, was the vision that welcomed new immigrants," the artist, John W. Tomac, told the magazine. "Now it seems that we are turning off the light."

When Trump announced a wide-reaching immigration ban targeting Muslims, a heavy feeling overtook much of the nation as flash protests unfolded and many cried out in opposition.

It appears other parts of the world felt that pain, too, as shown by a more graphic cover featuring the words "America First," by German magazine Der Spiegel.

That image, of a roaring Trump bloodily beheading the nation's greatest symbol of its immigrant masses, was drawn up by a man who came to the U.S. as a political refugee. Edel Rodriguez arrived to the U.S. from Cuba as a child, so for him, the new president's policies have struck an even more personal note, the Washington Postreports.

"I was nine years old when I came here, so I remember it well, and I remember the feelings and how little kids feel when they are leaving their country,” Rodriguez told the Post. “I remember all that, and so it bothers me a lot that little children are being kept from coming to this country."

Der Spiegel's cover is eerily reminiscent of a New York Daily Newscover from more than a year ago, when Trump was just a candidate.

The Der Spiegelcover doesn't just show an angry Trump, however, as it actually symbolizes a deeper look at the new presidency.

“It's a beheading of democracy, a beheading of a sacred symbol,” Rodriguez said. “And clearly, lately, what's associated with beheadings is ISIS, so there's a comparison” between that terrorist group and Trump.

“Both sides are extremists, so I'm just making a comparison between them.”

You may recognize another Trump cartoon drawn up by Rodriguez -- the infamous "Meltdown" image of an orange, screaming Trump.

Meanwhile, a more comical but just as critical take was issued by Bloomberg Businessweek this week. It shows Trump holding up a page that's edited to read "Insert hastily drafted, legally dubious, economically destabilizing executive order here."

Sometimes a picture truly does say a thousand words.
