Abstract
In April 2001, Jerry Auvil, an organizer with the carpenters’ union, received a phone call from a man who claimed to be with the Portland Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF), a team that formally combines the efforts of city police and FBI field agents. The organizer was planning a rally at a construction site in suburban Portland to recruit nonunion Latino immigrant workers there and answered all of the questions that the caller asked. After all, Auvil figured, he usually called the police beforehand anyway. When 60 union activists showed up at the site, they found it temporarily shut down.1
