Compared to the clearing out of McPherson Square on Saturday, the enforcement of no-camping rules by the National Park Service in Freedom Plaza on Sunday was a slow burn.

The lawyer who has represented Occupy D.C. in federal court in previous appeals for the protest group to stay at McPherson Square said he’ll “be filing some paperwork” in the wake of U.S. Park Police making an exhaustive sweep of the park to enforce the ban on camping there.

Eight people from Occupy D.C. were arrested and scores of tents removed as U.S. Park Police spent the day enforcing the ban on camping in McPherson Square in what was by far the largest show of force yet agains the four-month-old protest.

A member of Occupy D.C. was arrested midday Sunday after pulling down the notices that the National Park Service posted over the weekend as a final warning that the ban on camping at McPherson Square would begin being enforced.
