First Red House, now a new Portland occupation simmers
Piedmont resident cites sovereign citizen separation from America as she battles foreclosure.
Another contested eviction situation similar to the so-called Red House on Mississippi simmers less than two miles away in North Portland.
Only this time, citing a high risk of confrontation and violence, sheriff s deputies have put off the eviction indefinitely.
Brenulla White-Bey, a 66-year-old retired Multnomah County nutrition counselor who stopped paying her mortgage five years ago but declines to leave her former house, told the Portland Tribune the authorities have got it wrong. We are about love, truth, peace, freedom and justice for all, she said, calling her situation totally different from that of the Kinney family, whose refusal to leave their North Mississippi home and the subsequent clash between activists and police made headlines around the country in December.
