Seventy-year-old Linda Thomas organized a Thanksgiving meal for nearly 50 Occupy protesters in Minneapolis Thursday. She says she wanted to honor those protesting for an important principle.

The Star Tribune reports the occupiers were taken into custody for violating a public nuisance ordinance. Occupy movement activists started marching through busy streets and blocking traffic after police ordered them to take down their tents in a downtown plaza Saturday evening.

A U.S. District Court mediated a settlement between Occupy Minneapolis protesters and Hennepin County officials regarding a suit that challenged county rules governing protesters in public places. As part of the settlement, items confiscated by police and stored by the county will be returned to protesters.

A woman participating in the OccupyMN movement said she was sexually assaulted early Friday morning at Peavey Plaza in downtown Minneapolis. The woman told Minneapolis police she thought the man who assaulted her was also part of the movement.

Police are preparing for demonstrators to pitch tents Saturday in Peavey Plaza and nearby Loring Park. The Star Tribune reports no one can stay in the park overnight and that ordinance will be enforced.

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.

The demonstration shut down traffic for about an hour Thursday afternoon. Minneapolis police arrested the activists for 'creating a public nuisance.' The protesters marched to the bridge to celebrate the two-month anniversary of the anti-Wall Street movement.

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.
