A judge has ordered protesters be allowed back in the park with their belongings.
Another hearing will be held at 11:30 regarding the decision.The following is from a press release delivered by attorneys for the Occupy Wall Street movement.We spoke with one of the attorneys, Yetta Kurland. She told us that the team of lawyers put together cause in a matter of hours and that they're "confident the Court will uphold the Judge's ruling. We have the law, and we have public opinion on our side."Earlier, at approximately 1 AM, the NYPD began amassing 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.
