Judge Halts Eviction of Occupy Wall St. — Would Allow Protesters to Return With ‘Belongings’

A judge has issued a temporary restraining order against the eviction of Zuccotti Park in New York City and the new rules imposed after the protesters were kicked out, the New York Times reports. The move will apparently allow protesters to return to the park and resume the occupation. The Times published a copy of the ruling.

A hearing over the issue is set to take place at 11:30 am ET.

During a live press conference this morning, NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg explained that the city will wait to receive the official ruling before re-opening the park. But he reiterated that he had always planned to do so.

However, he said that there will be some major changes — amendments that the Occupiers will certainly dislike. “In the future protesters and the general public will be welcome…but will not be allowed to use tents, sleeping bags…,” Bloomberg said.

But while the mayor claims that these rules will be instituted, the judge’s ruling says that no regulations that were instituted after the occupation began can be enforced. This would mean that the tents and tarps could very easily re-emerge. Clearly, there’s a disconnect.

A press release from the National Lawyers’ Guild reiterates that possessions will be allowed:

New York, NY: At around 6 AM on November 15, 2011, attorneys associated with the New York City Chapter of the National Lawyers Guild working as the Liberty Park Legal Working Group obtained a temporary restraining order against the City of New York, various City agencies, and Brookfield properties directing that occupiers be allowed back on the premises with their belongings.

Earlier, at approximately 1 AM, the NYPD began massing around Zuccotti Park “aka Liberty Park.” In the following hours reports surfaced that the NYPD entered the park with police in riot gear backed up by numerous police vehicles, including a bulldozer, evicting occupiers. In the process they destroyed property and arrested dozens of occupiers and protestors including NYC Councilmember Ydanis Rodriguez and District Leader Paul Newell.

In the coming hours, days and weeks the LPLWG will pursue all legal options to enable the occupiers to continue to exercise their first amendment rights to speech and assembly for speech. Attorney Yetta Kurland, one of the attorneys from the LPLWG, said, “This is a victory for everyone who believes in the First Amendment. We will continue to fight for everyone’s right to continue the occupation.” In response to the injunction, Daniel Alterman, also an attorney with the LPLWG, stated that, “This is a victory for all Americans, for the constitution and for the 99%.” Gideon Oliver, another attorney with the LPLWG reacted by saying, “The LPLWG has been fighting to ensure their right to free speech from day one of the occupation. The occupiers right to free speech is based in our most core legal principles and we will be here till the end to fight for those rights.”

NBCNewYork.com interprets the rules as being halted:

Hours later, a judge granted a temporary restraining order prohibiting the city from enforcing rules of the plaza that she said were published “after the occupation began.” Bloomberg said at a City Hall briefing that the city had planned to let people back into the park at 8 a.m. but decided to keep it closed while officials evaluated the order.

Still, there seems to be much confusion on what the order means. The Times reports that not even those cleaning out the park are sure, and even let some protesters into the newly-cleaned are before telling them they had to leave again:

The park was declared to be open and about a dozen of the protesters who had stayed in the area through the night and the early morning were ushered past metal barricades and into the newly pristine expanse.

Two people who entered the park by vaulting over a low wall were directed by police officers back over the wall, but they were permitted to enter from the sidewalk.

However, after people had been in the park for about 10 mins, security guards working for Brookfield Properties announced that everyone had to leave. Some inside the park said that the guards pointed to an electrical wire lying on the ground and announced that there was a “maintenance issue.”

During his address, the mayor also admitted that there have been threats to businesses, among other issues. ”It had developed into a situation which was preventing people from expressing their views,” he explained.

Bloomberg reported that there were “just under 200” arrests in and around Occupy Wall Street.

This is a breaking story. Updates will be added.

      I agree with you emotionally but, you really do not know the law. Whether we hate it or love it, they are entitled to to use their First Amendment rights because a park is a traditional public forum. In order for the gov’t to win they must meet strict scrutiny. The law or the gov’ts actions must be compelling narrowly tailored with no less restrictive alternative means. The gov’t may try to use safety and some of the law breaking as factors in their argument to meet the strict scrutiny requirements. Hopefully it works. The best way to cure bad speech is more good speech, not censorship. Don’t get me wrong, the majority of them are idiotic college kids that are upset with their choices (and adults) that don’t want to choose responsibility. These people have cost the taxpayers a ton of money in this charade.

      Control the bench and you rule the masses. A very small minority can rule with, but a few, well placed individuals. Jews are 1.7% of the population. Jews are 33% of the Supreme Court. Would be interesting to see if the judge in this case was a Jew.
      Let’s remember that when AG Gonzales was attacked by the two Jewish Senators, Schumer (D) and Specter (R), an attack that was carried forward by the Jewish owned New York Times, it successfully ended the AIPAC scandal case against the Jews, Rosen and Weissman. Gonzales did nothing illegal. It was a purely subjective attack levied at him in order to remove him. When he was replaced by the Jewish, Mukasey, the investigation did not proceed, and the Jewish, AIPAC and its betrayers of America walked.

      Sorry but you don’t know the law.

      They are breaking a multitude of laws simply by “occupying” the park. You cannot simply set up a makeshift city wherever you like. There were no rules written after the occupation began, they just weren’t enforcing any of the ordinances that were already on the books. Bloomberg just finally decided to start enforcing the law because his approval ratings were sinking faster than the titanic.

      Not sure if all replying to the post realize that the park is NOT on public land. There is no right to be on private property uninvited. Look at land encroachment laws. I’ve been wondering if the owner of the land is allowing this or if he has been run over like all the New Yorkers in the area. We need to be careful. We are at risk of becoming a land where few laws are enforced and anarchy reigns.

      Well said. It seems that people cannot distinguish between free speech and their own desire to shut up any opposition. The Constitution BARS the government from deploying any military against US Citizens. There’s a REASON for that.

      What does need to happen is that those who own property in the area need to have a course of action to deal with animals defecating in the streets and the like. The NYPD needs to start locking up those who aren’t following the law. The rest need to be allowed to spew their misguided communist agenda, as is their right.

The once lovely park is now a health hazard and a public safety liability.

If they were, those people would be in jail or concentration camps. “Nazis” would not allow this to be happening. But it has gone on long enough. Most of these so called protesters don’t even have a real cause. They just want to party like it was Woodstock. They are messy, slovenly, disrespectful, and immoral.Hightide is right, it is an occupation not a protest. These people don‘t have the courtesy or integrity to be respectful of the park’s property or that of the business around the area. These “protesters” only want to create mayhem.

      If it is a private lawn, then let the owners decide whether they want them there or not. I haven’t seen the owners of the park come out and say “Hey protestors, get off my lawn!”. If he did, then they still have to abide by the law, and the laws enforcing no camping and tents were enacted after the protest began.

      It wouldn’t be the first dog to crap on my lawn. Certainly won’t be the last. They’re not protesting me, so why would they want to camp on my lawn…plus my guns would have something to say about that…so…

      The police certainly act like Nazis, and I’m not the only person who agrees. I never said ALL police ARE Nazis… Fema Camps are certainly prepared to welcome anyone who has the audacity to protest corruption in government, financial institutions, or the law enforcement and Federal institutions anywhere, the entire nation is corrupt now. Corruption rules the day.

      The Tea Party certainly created their own form of mayhem through civil disobedience by tossing that tea into the harbor… If the Tea Party (myself included) decided to camp out on the Capitol lawn, the Federal Reserve or the White House lawn until changes are made to this corrupt government, I would certainly support that..and I wouldn’t want any cowardly jackbooted Nazis trying to break up the protest in the middle of the night like the cowards that they are.

An injunction should only be issued if 1) the case presented has merit 2)the non issuance of an injunction will cause irrevocable harm.

Also they can be legally viewed as such because they have an orginization/group bank account and that account is funded by solicited donations.

      Probably already part of the team-

      this contingency was already waiting (and willing).

      just another part of the scheme, to give appearances of action and responsibility, giving OWS people a way to save face while protecting them from the harsh winter ahead. As long as the liberal, marxist are in power this will not simply fade away…too many people in high places enabling them.

      I’d also like to know who the plaintiffs are. Jennifer Waller et al
      And how did the petition get written up and sent to the judge so fast? Seems the paperwork was ready to go beforehand…someone was just waiting to write in the current date

      How do we get the judges name so that we can look into their past rulings and history? I did not find it listed in the article. I agree that it should be done.

      Nope, I was watching that stupid live cam a minute ago when they announced it.. I didn’t realize, that was a protester taking video with the live cam until he said ” well, we won another one ” ( or something to that affect) something like, “ lose the battle but win the war ” that’s when I said to myself, what he hell are you watching this for ? Why is this even on the blaze ?
