Some Occupy D.C. protesters begin to pack their belonging before U.S. Park Police arrive to their section to inspect and most likely remove them. Early Saturday morning the US Park Police entered McPherson Square, only two blocks from the White House.

Their stated mission was to remove the large tarp, which Occupy DC had placed over the statue of General James B. McPherson to protest the announcement that the US Park Police would strictly enforce the ban on camping in federal parks.
