Judge Rejects Attempt to Block Camping Ban on Occupy D.C.

HeadlineFeb 01, 2012

A federal judge has rejected a motion that would have blocked the enforcement of a camping ban targeting Occupy D.C protesters. The judge ruled Tuesday that officials must give protesters at least 24 hours notice if it seeks to evict them. Some protesters left the encampments at McPherson Square and Freedom Plaza after a no-camping order went into effect on Monday, but many remained despite the ban.
