WASHINGTON -- Owners of foreclosed homes were arrested Monday during a protest outside Justice Department headquarters, where they demonstrated against prosecutors' failure to take legal action against bankers.
Seventeen former homeowners were arrested, according to Washington police. The demonstrators were seized outside the Justice Department building as they sat in groups behind a police barrier, singing protest songs largely invoking language from the Occupy Wall Street movement. They began blocking traffic in front of the Robert F. Kennedy building at 2:00 p.m. Five hours later, Constitution Avenue remained blocked from 9th Street to 10th Street.
Those arrested were charged with "incommoding," or obstructing traffic, according to Ann C. Wilcox, a lawyer representing the protesters. Many of the protesters who were not arrested had set up tents outside the building and said they planned to spend the night.
UPDATE: On Tuesday morning, police arrested those who stayed the night 5/21/2013 12:01:26 PM |
