Occupy Wall Street protesters back in Zuccotti Park – where does the movement go from here?
A New York Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that Occupy Wall Street protesters will be allowed to return to Zuccotti Park, but they can't bring their tents and generators - once a mainstay of the movement.
The Lower Manhattan property has been a home for the loosely defined group for nearly two months, spawning similar demonstrations in cities nationwide and around the world. Protestors have returned to the park, but they aren't allowed to lay down or even sit.
Carol Costello asks Dan Cantor, executive director of the Working Families party, on where Occupy Wall Street movement goes from here.
New York City cracks down on Occupy Wall Street protests
Police in full riot gear moved in to New York's Zuccotti Park early Tuesday morning, evicting hundreds of protesters from the site where the Occupy call to action began two months ago before spreading globally.

Police arrested at least 14 people, said Kanene Holder, a spokeswoman for the Occupy Wall Street movement. The protestors were told they could return after sanitation crews have finished cleaning the park.
