This is not in the news yet. The article is a press release from family and friends of a Homeowner jailed for "domestic terrorism" after challenging fraudulent foreclosure records -- nothing related to terrorism in any way.
The government is using domestic terrorism charges (five felony counts!) to go after a citizen who challenged the banks' authority to foreclose on her home without due process. This is pure fascism.

Modern Day Rosa Parks Jailed As Domestic Terrorist:
God-Fearing Woman Exposes Foreclosure Fraud
Family and Friends of Barbara Bratton, Homeowners’ Rights Advocate Pre-Preliminary Conference (Court Hearing) Monday, June 24, 2014, 8:30 a.m. Dept. S22, San Bernardino Superior Court
351 N. Arrowhead San Bernardino, CA. 92415 Map
Ignoring well-documented cases of fraud and abuse that continue to plague the home mortgage industry, the City of Ontario Police Department has instead set its sites on Barbara Bratton, 55, jailed as a domestic terrorist for challenging the validity of property records used to foreclose on her home. A pre-preliminary conference is set for Monday, June 24 at 8:30 a.m. in San Bernardino Superior Court, 351 N. Arrowhead San Bernardino, CA. 92415.
Homeowners’ rights advocates will be on hand to show their support.
Background:
Barbara Bratton, a life-long resident of Ontario, California and an outstanding community member, was the victim of an illegal foreclosure on her family home of 40 years. Since 2008 she has conducted a tireless and well-documented campaign to expose the land title fraud on her home. An important piece in this complex case came last year, when a Lending Processing Services (LPS) executive pled guilty to filing more than a million fraudulent property documents in county recorders offices across the country. The fraud on the Bratton home was linked to the suit. Yet the LPS scheme masked a more insidious crime: the securitization of nearly all home loans since 1996, making it impossible to determine who, if anyone, actually owns the note on a home.
To back up her case, Ms. Bratton began working with San Bernardino County Recorder Dennis Draeger and his staff to conduct a thorough search of the property records on her home. In a signed declaration authorized by Draeger, his custodian of records concluded that the involved parties lacked the authority to foreclose on the Bratton home. To set the record straight, Ms. Bratton filed a corrective deed at the County Recorders office on April 11, 2013 a preliminary step towards gaining court recognition of fraudulent foreclosure. To insure proper procedure, she asked the Secretary of States office to validate the document with their seal before filing with the county recorder. For additional insurance, she attached a copy of her 2012 notice to the police of title fraud with her request to have them investigate (a request they ignored.)
Ms. Brattons actions to correct property records on the family home were fully above board, with no intent to harm or defraud. The City of Ontarios punitive efforts to defame Ms. Bratton reveals how desperate officials are to ignore the fraud that continues to pollute property records in a county with some of the highest foreclosure rates in the country. Until property records are corrected, judges will continue to sanction illegal foreclosures, and the perpetrators will go unpunished.

Rosa Parks just wanted to sit where ever she wanted on the bus she paid to ride to work. This woman perhaps thinks she gets to live in a house she is not paying for?
Irrelevant.
You are missing the big picture. Is she a domestic terrorist? Obviously, she is not.
What bearing does the Communist activist Rosa Parks have to do with this issue? Dragging a Red herring across this matter?
I agree and worry about the over charging that I think goes on all the time. On the other hand, some of the charges make her seem not so sympathetic.
You might try reading the title of the thread.
I agree with you that overcharging happens all the time.
In my opinion, this case takes it to another level, in that the events have NOTHING to do with the charges.
“Domestic Terrorism” is being used as a catch-all charge that the government can use against anyone if they decide that person is an enemy of the state.
I get your point. Thanks for the posting.
Rosa Parks .....another of the black accidental hero mythology pantheon
Domestic Terrorist = Enemy of the State
Resisting Arrest = Catch-all Criminal Charge
