I have not participated much in the Occupy protest in my city, but I can
report that Pancho Ramos Stierle, who I spent time in jail with here in
Phoenix because of our protests over the discriminatory immigration law
that went into effect last year, was arrested in Oakland as part of the
Occupy Oakland movement. You can read more here:

To make a long story short, there is now a possibility that he will be
deported to Mexico, although he is well known for his good work with the
community and has helped countless people.
My significant other's best friend was arrested in OWS in New York City
several weeks ago as well but she has been released since then.

I came from pub and before going to bed, I checked
emails and news.
And I saw that the conflict with police is escalating. As many
Wikimedians participate in OWS and other Occupy protests in US, it
would be good that you report here what's going on with you.
