– A second judge ruled that although the protests could continue, people would no longer be allowed to bring tents to Zuccotti Park, a move that would ostensibly end overnight occupations when the temperature falls
– Protestors have returned to Zuccotti Park, but it is unclear how they will continue to stay overnight without tents.
– The eviction has brought the movement further into the media spotlight and has galvanized the protestors
– More than 70 arrests have been made.
