The activists linked arms as the officials aggressively tried to break through their blockade, Footage posted on social media showed the bailiffs grabbing and pushing activists who stood in front of the door to keep Brown in her home.shoving the activists until local police broke up some of the scuffles.Detroit Metro Times reportedThe tense situation began around 9 a.m. after Brown, who has Stage 5 kidney disease and relies on dialysis, lost a two-year legal fight to stay in her home that is part of a neighborhood of unique tiny homes, the publication reported.
Brown and her supporters reportedly said she was being booted from her home in retaliation for shining a light on problems at Cass Community Social Services, a non-profit that designed the homes for low-income residents.
