Globalrevolution's OWS Livestream HQ in Bushwick is being evicted RIGHT NOW
We'll be updating this post as the story unfolds. Contact bill@superchief.tv for info
The Global Revolution collective have been covering Occupy Wall Street via live stream since the beginning. Originally based in Zuccotti Park, their base of operations have traveled as the Occupy movement's locations have changed. Most recently, their base of operations was established in Bushwick, Brooklyn at 15-1 Thames Street.
4:26PM Update: Those arrested have been taken to the 90th Precinct in Brooklyn located at Union St and Montrose Avenue.
4:11PM Update: A resident has confirmed 5 arrested, one of whom is Vlad of the livestream. He also claims that police damaged camera equipment upon entering the building Tuesday afternoon.
Last night around 8 PM police and fire marshals showed up, entered the space without a warrant and notified the residents that they would be evicted today. Today around 3 PM, 13-1 Thames, half of the split-residence first floor of the building was evicted and sealed. Police warned that they "may return" later today to evict 15-1, the Occupy HQ.
Residents are reporting to Superchief that they suspect the order to vacate is a targeted attack likely towards a Global Rev organizer Vlad, and his 4-month pregnant wife. They report that they were able to remove an 800 pound server containing their video archives and their important documents last night.
Police did not specifically issue an order to vacate last night. Rather, they are enforcing a year-old order to vacate which may or may not be selectively enforced now based on the Occupy presence in the space.
Residents of 13-1 are requesting people to come out and support them against eviction right now and tonight.

UPDATES FROM GLOBAL REVOLUTION
The Global Revolution collective has been covering Occupy Wall Street via live stream since Day 1. Originally based in Zuccotti Park, Global Revolution's base of operations have relocated as the Occupy movement's locations have changed. Most recently, a base of operations was established in Bushwick, Brooklyn, at 13 Thames Street. On January 2nd, a notice was posted at the property stating that the production space is "imminently perilous to life," and adds, "Violators of the Commissioner's Vacate Order are subject to arrest." No one else in the building was evicted.
JAN 3RD, 9PM EST Six people in total were arrested at 13 Thames between 2-3pm on January 3rd and charged with Trespass, Obstructing Governmental Administration and Resisting Arrest. They are likely to remain in jail overnight.

Global Revolution, Occupy Wall Street Live Streaming Source, Evicted from Brooklyn Production Studio
A prominent source for Occupy Wall Street's global outreach and live streaming was reportedly shut down by the New York City Police Department last night. Global Revolution, a website which has broadcast Occupy Wall Street coverage since the movement's inception in September, claims it received an eviction notice at its Brooklyn studios on Monday night. The notice states the production space is "imminently perilous to life," and adds, "Violators of the Commissioner's Vacate Order are subject to arrest."

Occupy Wall Street's Livestream Operators Arrested
Occupy Wall Street is in the middle of one of its day-long marches in New York Tuesday, protesting the National Defense Authorization Act, but for those following along on the Global Revolution livestream, the real action is happening in the broadcast studio itself. That's because police have apparently just raided the Brooklyn studio of Globalrevolution.tv and taken some of the project's key volunteers into custody.
The raid Tuesday follows a notice to vacate that police delivered to the Bushwick studio on Monday night. Victoria Sobel, a Global Revolution volunteer, said Vlad Teichberg and a guy named Spike, both of whom maintain the live feed aggregator, had been taken into custody by police, along with four or five others.
