When a foreign national is in state or federal custody (that is, jail) and comes to the attention of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) -- possibly through one of its branches, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or Customs and Border Protection (CBP) -- a so-called âimmigration holdâ may be placed on the person.
In the 1980s, a farm in Shikoku started doing things differently. By growing watermelons in specially-made glass boxes, they forced the melons into a cubic shape. Leaping to worldwide attention, the square watermelon became a potent symbol of Japanâs appetite for novelty and innovation.
Storing Watermelon. Watermelons are picked when they are ripe so they will not continue to ripen and soften much at room temperature; melons picked before their prime will never develop full flavor. Whole watermelon should be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week. Cut watermelon should be wrapped in plastic, refrigerated and used within three to five days. You can also freeze cut watermelon, but the texture will be soft when thawed (which is fine for cold soups and smoothies).
