Occupy DC protesters have been arrested outside the White House, according to the U.S. Park Police.

Eleven protesters were arrested Monday night because they failed to obey police orders to leave the grounds outside the presidential home, police said.

The group was demanding that President Obama veto the Defense Authorization Act,  a $662 billion defense spending bill that would allow the president to detain suspected terrorists indefinitley.
