Truthout - A pre-emptive raid by the Chicago Police Department (CPD) on the home of two Occupy Chicago activists may have happened without a search warrant, said the National Lawyers Guild (NLG), and led to the disappearance of nine activists into police custody without charge for almost 24 hours.

As if we're part of an organized crime that they're trying to take down. Who knows what they're going to pin on us. We're terrified." Read more.
