Update 5pm:  At least two arrests--Angel from PPEHRC and Jenny from the Anti-War Committee.  Order to disperse has been given around back the the alley, which is also where police are taking people to arrest them. 

Update, 4:45pm:  raid is in progress at 3138 Clinton.  MPD arrived and broke up a toddler's birthday party to raid Rosemary's house.  They're boarding up the windows and doors with heavy reinforced fiberglass or metal instead of regular plywood. 

Rosemary and three other people are in the house and are being given time to move some stuff out.  It's unclear if there will be arrests.

Overheard:  MPD spokesperson Jesse Garcia making a phone call, saying, "We're looking like bad guys."

Per City Council member Elizabeth Glidden, after they finish evicting Rosemary GMAC plans to hire private security to guard the house.  Are local police unhappy doing GMAC's dirty work?
