Updated: A judge has ruled against the Occupy Wall Street protesters, meaning that the protesters will not be allowed to camp in the park, the New York Daily News reports.
The Occupy Wall Street movement in New York City is awaiting the decision from a judge that could allow it to stay in Zuccotti Park for good.
Early Tuesday morning, the New York Police Department removed OWS protesters from the park on order of Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Since then, the movement has returned and issued a temporary order against the police department.
Judge Michael Stallman heard the case, and indicated that a decision will be issued by 3:15 p.m. ET (although that time has come and gone with no decision). The outcome will determine whether police must allow protestors into the now barricaded park.
Word spread quickly during the night of the NYPD's action, and news has been coming in throughout the day about the events and whereabouts of protestors. Search #ows in Twitter and you'll find a steady update of information.
We're awaiting the announcement of Judge Stallman's verdict, and will keep an eye on Twitter's reaction as it happens.
