Protestors Storm Bank, Upset Over Foreclosures
About 50 demonstrators, jumping turnstiles, stormed into OneWest Bank’s Pasadena, Calif., headquarters on Friday to protest the bank’s foreclosure practices.
Protestors said they were showing their support for Rose Gudiel, a home owner who faces eviction and foreclosure. Gudiel says she has been trying to get a loan modification for two years, but the bank has turned her down.
Bank officials agreed to meet with Gudiel this week in order to get protestors to leave the bank.
