FBI Raids homes in Portland, Olympia and Seattle—activists may be anarchists

Is it suddenly illegal to be an anarchist today? These raids just happened and little is known about them. This would never happen to the pro-life terrorist who help burn, bomb clinics and kill doctors and their help. -សតិវ អតុ

FBI Raids Homes Across Northwest
Looks Like They Might Be Targeting Anarchists

BY SARAH MIRK

FBI agents and local police who are part of the Joint Terrorism Task Force raided multiple houses in Portland, Olympia, and Seattle this morning—but it’s still unclear what the authorities were looking for, exactly.
No arrests were made in the raids and the warrants for the searches are sealed, which means they’re not public record. The most the FBI will say is the raids are part of an “ongoing violent crime investigation.” They issued grand jury subpoenas to individuals in all three cities.
However, the Oregonian talked with the owner of one of the three homes in NE Portland who said the FBI may have been seeking a group of “anarchists” who lived there a year ago and ran an info booth at Last Thursday. In Portland, the three houses raided were 4820 NE 31st Ave, 7129 NE 8th Ave, and 6846 N. Greenwich. It’s not clear whether this is related, but earlier this month, police raided the home of Occupy Mayday protesters in Seattle.
KGW has some shots of the agents in the raid. It’s a pretty heavy duty squad.
This is a clear example of one of the controversial issues about Portland being a part of JTTF. The FBI can work with police to raid Portlanders’ houses, but then not make public any information about it… except maybe include some details in a bare-bones report about their involvement down the line. Until then, we’re in the dark.

Occupy Seattle

This is a regional call-out for a solidarity demo at the Seattle federal courthouse, 700 Stuart St., starting at 7:30am and going throughout the day, to show support for the comrades being stripped of any sembalence of rights in what is known as a grand jury. Comrades from the cities targeted and beyond should make the trip to Seattle so we can show the state how we feel about grand juries. We need as many people to come out as we can, to not only show the people facing the grand jury that we support them in their struggle against state oppression but to show the state that we will always resist their attempts at co-optation and destruction of our movements of social revolution.
