Local newspaper Star Tribune reports this:
Police spokesman Sgt. Steve McCarty said police action will be determined by the protesters' actions.
In general, it is not illegal to spend the night in public parks or plazas, he said. "It doesn't become a problem until they starting blocking access or start causing a disturbance," McCarty said. "It is something we will deal with at the time."

Carolyn Marinan, Hennepin County spokesperson: "This is not a campground. This is where people come during the day and do business. You can come here at night, but you can't camp overnight."
The Hennepin County Sheriff's office wouldn't comment on what type of law enforcement presence they will have, but given their experience with the RNC (Republican National Convention) they should be prepared for just about anything."
...
Now you talk about logistics, one of the things that this group has asked the county to do was to bring in some port-o-potties for all of the people that they are expecting, but again the county tells me they are reluctant to do anything that will encourage them to have an extended stay here, especially overnight.

I don't know if it's reasonable to expect the County to foot the bill for port-o-potties. Unless there is history of them providing them for other events/groups. On the other hand, if the County won't provide at least space for them, then perhaps the city might provide for space on the sidewalk or parking lane in the street?
