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 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.

Two activists are charged with burglary, trespassing and obstruction of justice charges. The TC Daily Planet reports they were part of the ongoing Occupy Minnesota protest that moved to a foreclosed home in Minneapolis.

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.

State labor organizations joined ranks Saturday with demonstrators at the Hennepin County Government plaza in Minneapolis. OccupyMN has been protesting corporate greed since the start of October.

Activists say the longhouse will be used as a meeting place as winter sets in. Protesters say it also symbolizes their constitutional right to assemble peacefully -- which some believe has been infringed upon after Hennepin County put in place new protest restrictions last week.

Occupy Duluth is the latest group preparing for a long-term demonstration. The Duluth News Tribune reports the city has give protesters their approval to converge at Lake Superior Plaza.

In addition to the allegations by demonstrators in Minneapolis, a KSTP news photographer says he was roughed up and his camera damaged by police as he tried to tape the arrests. Police booked the protesters for blocking traffic and for public nuisance offenses. Another demonstration is planned for Monday.
