The National Lawyers Guild says it has obtained a court order that allows Occupy Wall Street protesters to return with tents to New York’s Zuccotti Park. Earlier the activists’ encampment was ousted by the police force.

The guild says the injunction prevents the city from enforcing park rules on Occupy Wall Street protesters, reports AP.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he has not seen the court order yet. However, the city will go to court immediately, he added.

The mayor added that the city wanted to open the park for protesters once it is cleaned, but would not allow them use tents, sleeping bags or tarps.
