VAN NUYS, CA, Oct 15—In what can only be understood as continued harassment on behalf of
banks and retaliation for resistance, LAPD cruisers and a Department of Sanitation truck lined the street outside the Hernandez family’s Van Nuys home this afternoon and declared that furniture and a temporary wooden barricade on the property are violations of city sidewalk ordinance 56.11. The Hernandez family, facing imminent foreclosure, currently have proceedings pending before the court for two earlier 56.11 citations, noting that there are no sidewalks in front of their home and no immediate threat to public health or safety. The Hernandez family has erected the ten-foot barricade in symbolic protest of their impending, fraudulent eviction by Bank of America with the help of neighbors, the Occupy Movement, and other grassroots groups.
Update 7:50PM: Ulises has been released after being bailed out, and is probably already home as I type this. Thank you to all the phone calles to the SFV LAPD as it surely helped speed up his release!
Update 6PM: Ulises is being bailed out right now, and will be back to the Fort in a few hours.
Update 5:30PM: The LAPD are now claiming he is being held on an unpaid metro ticket, and it will cost $561 to get him out of jail.
