A Hennepin County commissioner says he's hearing from downtown workers who are growing tired of protesters' belongings cluttering Government Plaza. Others worry about the costs.

The TC Daily Planet is reporting some demonstrators connected to the OccupyMN movement have occupied a foreclosed home in north Minneapolis to keep the residents from being evicted. The protesters say they intend to stay in the home and in tents on the property until U.S. Bank agrees to renegotiate the mortgage. They say they will resist if authorities try to forcefully evict the residents.

Occupy Minnesota protesters plan to erect 99 tents at the Minneapolis plaza in defiance of a Hennepin County order. Organizers say they’ll put up the tents Wednesday and link arms around them.

The American Civil Liberties Union is accusing Hennepin County officials of issuing a rash of trespass notices to force OccupyMN protesters off Government Plaza. The county denies that claim and says it has only handed out trespass notices to some individuals because of misconduct.

City Administrator Dave Montgomery says the plaza is not designed to be a campground and negotiations on moving the protest will begin early this week. Surprised demonstrators say it's the first they've heard of a move.

The Occupy Wall Street protests gathered steam in Rochester over the weekend. A group of protesters marched there for the second organized expression there.

A police order effective Sunday night forbids protesters from spending the night at Duluth's Civic Center Plaza. Leaders of the Occupy Duluth movement say the group will abide by it, but hinted some individuals may challenge it on their own. The group says it will maintain some presence in Duluth through the winter.

Authorities confiscated more than two dozen tents that were set up outside the Hennepin County Government Center plaza early Sunday. Demonstrators plan to erect more tents across the street from Government Plaza in U.S. Bank Plaza.
