The OccupyLA camp in downtown Los Angeles was bracing for an imminent police raid Tuesday night, nearly 48 hours after a city imposed deadline to evacuate was expired.

Twitter and other social media were abuzz with messages noting a heightened LAPD mobilization at staging points not far from the camp around City Hall.

Occupy activists were issuing calls at 8:00 p.m. for supporters to come defend the camp.

Fears of a raid were heightened when at least one local TV station began running teases that it would soon have breaking news on the Occupy camp.

UPDATE:  KCAL is showing video of hundreds of police loading into busses at Dodger Stadium.  Raid expected at approximately 10 p.m.
