While most of the country was cooking out, donning red, white and blue, and getting to blow stuff up in the name of America, a woman in New York City decided to spend the Fourth of July climbing the Statue of Liberty.
Authorities evacuated Liberty Island, where the statue rests in New York Harbor, on Wednesday after a woman who was part of a protest urging the abolition of the U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement agency decided to climb nearly 25 feet onto the base of the statue.
A representative for The National Parks service told TheWrap the woman was eventually apprehended and is expected to appear before a federal court later on Wednesday.
