Update on the Occupy Wall Street eviction from Zuccotti Park:
A New York judge on Tuesday issued a temporary restraining order allowing protesters to return to Zuccotti Park only hours after police forcibly removed them, arresting dozens.
The order by Justice Lucy Billings set a hearing date for Tuesday at 11:30 a.m. and said that until the matter was considered at that hearing, the city and Brookfield Properties, the owners of Zuccotti Park, would be prohibited from evicting protesters or "enforcing 'rules' published after the occupation began or otherwise preventing protesters from re-entering the park with tents and other property previously utilized."
It was not immediately clear what effect the order would have on the protesters meeting in nearby Foley Square. Some had advocated returning to the park.
Quote of the day from Bloomberg: "No right is absolute." During press conference, he announces Zuccotti Park was reopened at 8 a.m and protesters were allowed back in, but after the judge issued a restraining order, the protesters were again asked to leave.
