A new exposé by the Associated Press has revealed undercover New York Police Department officers attended meetings of liberal political organizations and kept intelligence files on activists who planned protests around the U.S. In one instance, an undercover NYPD officer traveled to New Orleans to attend the 2008 People’s Summit. Two activists—Jordan Flaherty, a journalist, and Marisa Franco, a labor organizer for housekeepers and nannies—were mentioned by name in one of the police intelligence reports.
