The Port of Oakland reopened Thursday after Wall Street protesters removed a blockade that had shut down operations overnight.
A small group of protesters had prevented trucks from going into the port following a large demonstration there Wednesday night. They removed the dumpsters and fencing from the entrances Thursday morning. Port officials say workers are returning to their jobs and operations have partially resumed.
