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.
Icebox waterrmelons are round. Watermelon plants (Citrullus lanatus var. lanatus) include varieties such as âSugar Babyâ and âMinileeâ that produce fruits small enough to store in an icebox. These icebox watermelons often mature in as little as 75 days, which makes them well-suited to areas with short summer growing seasons.
