A federal judge plans to climb the Statue of Liberty before sentencing the woman who climbed the statue last year.

Therese Okoumou, 44, scaled the statue on July 4, 2018, claiming she was protesting the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. The island that the statue sits on was shut down on the national holiday, forcing thousands of would-be tourists to make other plans.
