Its windy out there still but a slow lessening of the wind pattern through the evening. Right now we have the numbers producing the wind chills in the lower 40s to the mid30s. This will get colder and lower by tomorrow morning. But the key is to remember this is not an arctic outbreak. This is the weather conditions more reminiscent of the late january weather patterns. That is it. Larry thanks. One of the d. C. Most iconic murals. The sprodding creation that adorns the side of the original bens chili bowl location. But tonight the image has been whitewashed.

We said its time to change the mural and put new faces up there. Cosby the most famous visitor until mr. Obama came to eat in 2009. The cosby image controversial in the wake of the allegations that he has sexually assaulted dozens of women. Does it enter into it . No. Good again. Richard someone painted an image over kim jong un over cosby. The owner says the makeover has nothing to do with the cosby investigation or mr. Obama leaving office. Im torn between the two emotions. It gives you a feel for washington, for this place. Because the mural is a pretty wellknown thing. They will keep soliciting names through the end of february. Start painting in april hay they hope. Some of the iconic names talked about are Martin Luther king, muhammad ali. The top two names right now in the contest, mr. And mrs. Obama. Reporting live, Richard Reeve abc7 news. Alison we will watch and see what happens. Thank you. This was a protest that had the city looking up all day. The banner hung from a crane in northwest washington that made the word resist appear right above the white house. 16 hours with the activists from greenpeace finally coming down off the crane. But not until 10 00 last night. All seven were promptly arrested. They are all in court right now. The d. C. Bureau chief sam ford is in the courtroom and we will check in with him when its complete. Protesters are lining the streets in philadelphia as the republicans gather there for a retreat to talk about the strategy in the coming year with a new republican administration. Of course they were protesting, the protesters were protesting the new President Trump who rode in air force one today for the first time. Even inviting the media in the president s office for a photo shoot. In the gaggle we learned one way the president believes he could make messco pay for a border wall make mexico pay for a border wall. Chief Political Correspondent scott thuman is here to explain. A lot to cover. Scott i will try to get you through it. This is a big bone of contention between the united specifically and the president of mexico on how to pay for the wall. Here is what developed today. We had a planned meeting between trump and president nieto. Suddenly both men seem to be at a stand still because of the issue. Now the meeting has been canceled. They are not getting together. Not in the immediate future. And then trump, President Trump on the road in philadelphia today brought up the issue again and said it was a much decision not to mutual decision not to have the meeting because theyre at odds. I want you to hear from him and then i will explain the plan moving forward that is also controversy. Listen. President trump unless mexico is going to treat the United States fairly with respect, such a meeting would be fruitless. I want to go a different route. Scott t floated by sean spicer that is making news. What is in the works as a plan but not definitive is an idea to go ahead and add a border tax for products going across the border from mexico to the United States. 50 billion worth of commerce takes place there. What spicer said is if you put a 20 tax on that, that is something that the president is discussing, that would easily raise the 10 billion that is necessary in one year to pay for the wall. They say they are in discussion with the leaders here on capitol hill about that. Whether or not that would backfire. Of course then companies that are building goods and making goods to mexico would increase the price to compensate for that. Would the prices be passed on to consumers . Who knows. Its early in conversation. Nonetheless its floated out there. Talked about and debuilted on capitol hill according to sean spicer. That has prompted even more debate. Larry 24 hours after protests across d. C. Against trumps plan to crack down on illegal immigration, we are seeing a different side to the story. Northern Virginia Bureau chief Jeff Goldberg spoke with a leader who says his county stands behind the president. Jeff the more donald trump talks tough on illegal immigration the more it pleases corey stewart. Finally, we have a present who is willing to remove criminal aliens. Stewart is a republican candidate for governor in virginia and chair of the Prince William county board of supervisors. This week the board voted unanimously to ask the federal government for the information on undocumented immigrants who have committed crimes in the county over the past several years. Stewart says local police turned over 7,000 criminals to the federal Law Enforcement. But that the county has been unable to find out whether the individuals were deported or released. All of the 7,500 illegal they need to be deported. Jeff michelle is with casa virginia, immigrants rights group. They support Public Safety but she believes targeting immigrants will harm community the community policing. People will be afraid to call the police to report it and it will make crime more rampant. Woodbridge worry about an overall crackdown on undocumented immigrants. It makes it harder for them to live their lives. Other support the county board for taking action. If they are criminals they know that they are criminals. I would agree with their stance on it. Corey stewart estimates of the 7,500 undocumented immigrants that have been arrested 5,000 still remain in Prince William county. The board of supervisors will draft a letter asking the federal government for the information next week. In occoquan, Jeff Gol Alison thank you.
