Dozens of Occupy protestors were arrested Sunday in Texas and Oregon as they clashed with police.

The movement has spread nationwide with protestors in cities across the country camping outside for the cause.

According to the LA Times, in Portland Oregon the protestors were allowed to sleep in parks around office buildings but could not take over more parks. When protestors begin to gather in another park some 25 people were arrested for criminal trespassing and disorderly conduct.

In Austin Texas 39 people were arrested on Sunday. Police were trying to enforce a new rule that bans food tables where the protests camp. Again the charges were mostly criminal trespassing.

CNN reported that on Friday 51 demonstrators in San Diego were arrested for charges of obstruction of officers and unlawful assembly.

The arrests do not seem to be stopping the steam of the movement.
