Residents of the Pinheirinho slum stand ready to defend their neighborhood from police they expect to arrive with a court order to evict them from their homes, in Sao Jose dos Campos, 50 miles (80 kms) northeast of Sao Paulo, Jan. 13, 2012. Some 1,500 families who have been occupying a private plot of land for the past eight years expect to be evicted as the real owner’s request for eviction reaches a final decision in a local court.
