After more than 56 days of protests, two Occupy Wall Street movements are facing eviction. CNN explains how participants of the Occupy LA movement are defying orders.

“Hundreds of Occupy Los Angeles protestors were told to take their tents and leave their camp outside city hall overnight. But more showed up. Many of them haven’t budged at all but it’s been mostly a peaceful standoff with police.”

Police waited well past the city’s 12:01 am deadline and instead began arresting protestors at 5 a.m. when three occupiers were arrested. But as Fox News explains, West coast protesters aren’t the only ones facing eviction. Philadelphia’s mayor gave his city’s protestors until 5 p.m. Sunday to vacate.

“But the occupiers are still occupying Dilworth Plaza...Under the watchful eye of heavy police presence, some have headed the city’s warning, folded their tents, and left. But others, ‘I’m not afraid.’”

Despite the orders, the city of Brotherly Love isn’t leaving its occupiers out to dry. As USA Today explains, the city just wants the protestors to relocate -- and no arrests have been made at this point..

“[Mayor Michael Nutter] had set a deadline of 5 p.m. Sunday for the protesters to leave...so the city could begin a $50 million, 27-month park renovation that Nutter says will create 1,000 jobs. The city issued a demonstration permit that would relocate the group across the street to Thomas Paine Plaza but limits the demonstrating from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and bans camping.”

While it seems these two cities are simply keeping their promises, a writer for the Huffington Post wonders whether the cities’ desires to remove protestors are coming too soon.

“In all respects, Occupy LA is a model camp. They take in the homeless. They don't tolerate violence or unlawful behavior. They have worked with the city on all fronts to make sure that they are able to protest without causing too much disruption to day-to-day business of other citizens... What this decision to evict demonstrates is that citizens have no space for lawful protests in our cities. Our cities are for working and shopping. Protesting has to happen somewhere else."

But a contributor for the Heritage Foundation says it’s more than time to say goodbye to Occupy.

“They’ve cost cities millions of dollars in police overtime, plus court proceedings. And now, to get them off the city hall lawn, the City of Los Angeles is talking about giving them 10,000 square feet of office space in a shopping mall, for just $1 a year.”

Further, a writer for the Nashua Telegraph says the movement still faces an uphill battle.

“The problem is most Americans have only a vague idea of what the Occupy movement wants. The occupiers have yet to effectively articulate a consistent and coherent platform. This failure contributes to a growing popular perception that the occupiers are little more than a nebulous assemblage of counterculture bohemians.”
