'Occupy Oakland' Gets Second Eviction Notice

OAKLAND (AP) — Oakland officials are pressuring Occupy protesters camped in front of City Hall to leave.

The city issued another eviction notice on Saturday morning. It warns protesters that they do not have the right to camp in the plaza overnight and face immediate arrest and the removal of their tents, stoves, sleeping bags and other belongings.

Police and a city official did not respond to requests for comment on whether police were preparing to forcibly clear the camp.

The city issued the same eviction notice a day earlier and similar warnings before officers raided the encampment on Oct. 25 with tear gas and bean bag projectiles. More than 80 people were arrested. A day later, Oakland Mayor Jean Quan allowed protesters to reclaim the disbanded site.

City officials say the camp now has about 160 tents.
