A small band of protesters continued to face off with police in Oakland on Monday morning after authorities cleared the Occupy Oakland camp from a downtown plaza.
Protesters who were present when police moved in said the arrests and clearing were conducted peacefully. There were no reports of police using tear gas or projectiles, and no injuries were reported.
About 20 protesters were arrested, according to early media reports.
The plaza was barricaded and downtown streets blocked off following the raid. A few scattered tents remained visible, but flattened.
Dozens of police officers from multiple departments remained on scene, while about 50 protesters remained gathered outside the barricade on 14th Street and Broadway.
