This is a set of documents produced by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) about the Occupy Wall Street movement and released to multiple parties in response to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests in 2012 and 2013.

Keeping track of different document sets on this topic can be challenging. DHS does not appear to have released file numbers along with the documents, and emails culled together in response to FOIA requests may not have ever been part of a particular file. In addition, DHS released documents on Occupy to different people, who then posted DHS documents online as pdfs that they either aggregated or changed the names of.

For that reason this collection of DHS documents may have some redundancy. It includes all documents released online by Jason Leopold of Truthout.org and by the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund (PCJF).
