While the Democrats keep opposing ICE, with no plan for the border protection, the public will shift to a different party regardless.

Red Hen...
After refusing to serve Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on June 22, the Red Hen restaurant grew notorious, prompting a national debate over social decency in an era of sharp political divides. Protesters flocked to the restaurant, and it stayed closed for nearly two weeks.
Ahead of the scheduled reopening at 5 p.m., protesters and hopeful customers gathered on the bucolic street corner outside the Red Hen, just across from the Stonewall Jackson House.
"If they want to serve up politics rather than Southern fried chicken, then they are setting up their own demise as a restaurant,"

Mei...
There won't be a baby panda at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., any time soon. It turns out Mei Xiang, one of the zoo's giant pandas, is not pregnant, despite showing signs for the last few months, the zoo says.
Incite Violence...
Maxine Waters drew criticism from both sides of the aisle after she encouraged protesters to publicly confront and “push back on” Trump administration officials.
Waters maintains she did not intend to "incite violence" by her comments and says Trump and others are deliberately mischaracterizing her words.
Schumer said Waters' call for the “harassment of political opponents” was “not American.”
“Crazy Maxine Waters, said by some to be one of the most corrupt people in politics, is rapidly becoming, together with Nancy Pelosi, the FACE of the Democrat Party. Her ranting and raving, even referring to herself as a wounded animal, will make people flee the Democrats!” Trump tweeted.
Crooks...
Finding a soulmate is already pretty tough, so Facebook (FB) is launching a dating application later this year, and users are already perceiving a rise in "catfishers" -- crooks.
Take a few minutes to do a Google image search. If it's a photo that comes up multiple times with many names, be warned.
Con artists are reluctant to talk on the phone or meet in person. The athletic Midwestern hunk you're corresponding with is actually a skinny Nigerian telemarketer with a heavy accent.
A con artist is likely to contact you multiple times a day and fall head over heels in love with you within weeks.

Climbed...
A woman who climbed up to the robes of the Statue of Liberty to protest the separation of migrant families was taken into custody after a standoff with police on the Fourth of July.
Authorities had tried to talk the woman down but she refused to leave. For nearly three hours, she crossed the base of the statue, at times sitting in the folds of the statue's dress and under Lady Liberty's sandal. The woman was identified as Therese Patricia Okoumou.
She is facing charges of trespassing, disorderly conduct, interfering with government functions, and perhaps ICE itself.
Option...
The cops watched as the car drove back and forth in front of the bank. When one of the men exited the car and began to approach the bank, the agents went to work, arresting the would-be bank robber just as the machine began spewing out cash.
ATM jackpotting is both riskier and complicated than card-skimming. Scammers have to physically breaking into the machine itself; install malware that tells the ATM to release all of its cash. The process takes longer than installing a card skimmer, more time in front of the ATM’s security cameras and triggering an alarm in the bank’s control center. But as chip-and-PIN becomes the standard in the U.S., would-be ATM thieves are running out of other options.
Conversion...

The British government is planning to outlaw so-called gay conversion therapy as part of an effort to counter intolerance and discrimination.
A survey of LGBT people found 2% of the 108,000 respondents had undergone conversion therapy.
Gay conversion "therapies" are based on the premise that being gay, lesbian, ... is a mental illness that can be "cured." But there is no evidence that they work, and the techniques are largely discredited. The World Health Organization declassified homosexuality "a mental condition" in 1992.
