Update on the #VenezuelanEmbassy situation:
Right now, things are basically the same as when I left last night, but fewer people outside.
A handful of @askavenezuelan people and press are in a section across the street watching, waiting for whatever happens.pic.twitter.com/9E1PdfRQrq

The main reason
@codepink and@answercoalition believes a second attempt to raid the place is upcoming is that a van used to hold arrestees arrived. Unclearnif warrant. If it happens, it may be a while, but I’ll be live-streaming the scene momentarily at http://Facebook.com/n2sreports pic.twitter.com/30KFT1n5eM

Just live-streamed for 3 hours straight as activists anticipated another potential breach. The police did indeed use a loudspeaker to demand that the Embassy Protection Collective folks
@codepink@answercoalition@PopResistance leave, but they didn’t. https://www.facebook.com/N2Sreports/videos/436919287120335?s=1298269668&v=e&sfns=mo …pic.twitter.com/on3umssNwn

What the police (MPD and State Department’s DSS) have been doing, in a nutshell, is hanging out. While they seem very happy to loudly demand that activists leave under penalty of a criminal charge, they haven’t been making many moves beyond that. Looks like a stalemate for now.pic.twitter.com/wiocswpMlW

I am actually so impressed at
@RT_America’s Michele Greenstein@seizethememez’s ability to do her stand up reporting live with this going on in the background.pic.twitter.com/QZqKkvmdSvShow this thread -
I’m having a break from reporting with
@aletweetsnews at@JohnnyRockets. Looks like the feds had the same idea.
