>''Woman in custody after climbing base of Statue of Liberty''
NEW YORK – After more than two hours, police have apprehended a woman who climbed the base of the Statue of Liberty.
>Earlier in the day, the woman partially climbed up the statue, prompting authorities to evacuate Liberty Island.
>The woman was seen at the base of the statue. She occasionally moved around the base and waved a T-shirt at times. At other times she was seen lying on her stomach and kicking her feet up behind her.
>The climber was holding a T-shirt that says 'Rise and Resist' and 'Trump Care Makes Us Sick.'

>Police officers were seen scaling the base of the statue with a ladder. They appeared to be talking with the woman. Eventually they were able to take her into custody and bring her down.
>Meantime, visitors were taken off the island via ferry.
>"We've had two unusual events occur back-to-back," National Park Service spokesman Jerry Willis told ABC7's sister station, WABC-TV. "So for the safety and security of our visitors, we decided to evacuate for the day."
>"It's our busiest week of the year, historically," Willis continued. "The island at this time of the day is mostly near capacity, at 4,000 to 4,500 people. All boats have been tasked with moving people off the island. We have an evacuation plan. Given the heat of the day, the visitors complied with no issues."
>Reports of a person scaling the statue started coming in around 3 p.m. Wednesday, shortly after a protest group calling itself Rise and Resist dropped a banner that read "Abolish ICE" from the base of the statue.
>That demonstration was organized to protest the Trump administration's immigration policy, the group said in a press release.
>The group initially said the woman who climbed to the base of the statue was not involved in the "Abolish ICE" protest. However later members said they learned of her identity and realized that she was someone involved in the group. They said she had not been sent or authorized by the group to climb the statue.
