Bashiri said the eviction process started in August, but Barber filed for bankruptcy and a judge issued a stay on her eviction. Despite a courtroom packed with Barber's supporters, US Bank and GMAC Mortgage recently convinced a judge to lift the stay, and now the court could order an eviction at any time.

Occupy Our Homes claims Barber was "dual tracked" by Wells Fargo, which claimed to be working on a loan modification while simultaneously foreclosing on Barber. The activists have pledged to dual track US Bank and the mortgage servicers by helping Barber pursue legal action in state court while using direct action, in the form of their 24-hour camp, to defend her home.
