SEATTLE (AP) — Police cleared a homeless camp in Seattle early this morning after a judge declined to block authorities from removing the people and tents.

Authorities say 10 people were arrested for various offenses after protesters confronted officers. Construction crews took barricades and tents out of the park in sections, and a group of protesters had gathered to help homeless people move their things and chant at the police.

Officials intended to clear Cal Anderson Park in the Capitol Hill neighborhood Wednesday morning. They postponed the sweep after makeshift barriers went up, dozens of protesters arrived and park resident Ada Yeager filed a federal lawsuit.

A federal judge on Thursday ruled against Yeager.
