Eight Occupy Des Moines Demonstrators Arrested at Iowa Democratic Party Headquarters

HeadlineDec 20, 2011

Eight people affiliated with Occupy Des Moines in Iowa were arrested Monday after staging a protest at the Iowa Democratic Party headquarters. The Occupy protesters have also targeted the Obama for America office in recent days. The protesters called on Obama to veto the National Defense Authorization Act, which could usher in a radical expansion of indefinite detention under the U.S. government by authorizing the military to jail anyone it considers a terrorism suspect anywhere in the world without charge or trial.
