Fresh-made concrete is drying in oil drums now. Who knows how much they each weigh, filled to the brim with concrete mix from a dozen or more orange five gallon buckets and a couple of large water bottles. Maybe coulda used a bit more water.

Occupiers have fortified by moving concrete-filled drums and barbed wire fencing from yesterday to block gate at US CIS building in San Francisco

Press conference with @CatsCommentary@twitter.com corrects misinformation that employee in building gave immigrants this morning, that their hearings were canceled due to occupation outside. Occupiers blocking buses, not hearings.
According to the Executive Office of Immigration Review that schedules hearings, some cancellations are not out of the ordinary. And most hearings here are by Skype for immigrants locked up in Richmond, Bakersfield, etc. Appears CIS employee was stirring up trouble with disinfo.
Video of press conference by @APTPaction@twitter.com includes two occupiers speaking out about why they are here. Say 30-40 folks present last night.
