Contrary to statements by Mayor Adam's office, the FBI Organized the Occupy Evictions.

According to new documents obtained under the freedom of information act, the Federal government actively coordinated the Occupy evictions across the county in the fall of 2011.

These new documents, obtained by the Partnership for Civil Justice, seem to contradict statements from Portland Mayor Sam Adam’s office that characterized pre-eviction communications as more ‘therapy session’ than strategy meeting.

For details, KBOO’s Joe Meyer spoke with Heather Beno, attorney for the Partnership for Civil Justice.
