A spokesman for Miami-Dade County has confirmed it has served Occupy Miami protesters an eviction notice. 

They must leave the West Lawn of the Stephen P. Clark County building by sundown or face arrest for trespassing. 

Miami-Dade police say they do plan to issue the disperse order starting at 5 p.m.

Local 10 contacted Miami-Dade County Police to see what their plans are in terms of enforcing the eviction notice but no one from the department has responded. 

Occupy Miami organizers Tweeted a link to this Facebook message:

Hey, insomniacs. Won't be much sleep at the Occupy Miami campsite tonight. There's been some restructuring of the camp. There will be more in the morning. Quite a few people have cleared out but others have come. I'm sure there will be more of this later on as well. Word is the police are coming to remove us at 5pm any way they deem fit. All leftover personal property will be declared abandoned and confiscated and destroyed. We burned the eviction notice. Time things got serious over here. We've decided to take a stand and not let them take our occupied territory so easily. We hope to see others stand with us. WHO'S STREETS? OUR STREETS! WHO'S PARK? OUR PARK!

They also stated they are planning an "all-day teach in" at the site they call "Peace City." 

The protesters have been at that location since October 15th. 

They’ve been requesting a permit every two weeks as required but the County recently denied to latest permit request citing that the camp is now unsanitary.

Police say seven arrests have been made since Jan. 19th.

Protester Jared Chase is visiting Occupy Miami from Occupy Boston. 

He told Local 10's Christina Vazquez he agrees with Miami-Dade County and Police that a criminal element has been causing problems in what they call "Peace City". 

While he thinks those people should be removed, he doesn't think they should all be kicked-out. Shortly after the interview he began making signs that read "Bring It". He plans to stay after sundown and is willing to be arrested for trespassing to further "the cause". 

But Joseph Uscinski, political science professor at University of Miami, tells Local 10 the Occupy movement hasn't done anything to advance the national dialogue about income and social inequality. 

He said people have been, "talking about that at the same rate that they were talking about it before." 

"These people are hardcore communists and anarchists. It's about time they get kicked out, protesting is a right but living in a tent is not. If they want to go live in a tent in their backyard and protest that's great," but he said when you decide to set up camp on public land there are conditions. If the County has denied their latest permit request, as they have done, then it is time for them to go.
