The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) closely monitored the Occupy Wall Street movement, providing agency officials with regular updates about protests taking place throughout the country, responding to requests from fusion centers for intelligence on the group and mining Twitter for information about Occupy’s activities, according to hundreds of pages of documents DHS released to Truthout Wednesday morning in response to our Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. Truthout was the first news organization to file a FOIA request with DHS for OWS-related documents.
