Squatter is an informal term for a trespasser.
A squatter is a person who lives upon premises owned by another person, without the owner's permission, i.e., a trespasser. Squatters take up residence on property that belongs to someone else and treat the property as their own. In some jurisdictions, they can eventually acquire legal title by adverse possession as long as they meet certain legal requirements.
In former times squatters were people who lived on the common land owned by the community. They didn't own any land and could be kicked out of where they were living at any time
There is no such legal rights known as squatters "rights" in the United States. Until a person has satisfied all the state requirements to make a claim of adverse possession, and then takes the legal steps to perfect that claim, they are considered a trespasser and they have no rights during their period of trespass.
In the traditional common law a person could obtain title to property through use. The common law has been codified under state and federal statutes. Under the various state codes, a person must use the land for a certain number of years, without permission and right out in the open for all the world to see.
If the owner does nothing they are considered to have abandoned the property and the adverse possessor can claim the land. The method of claiming by adverse possession varies from state to state. Some states require only that a notice be recorded in the land records. Other states require that an action be brought in a court of equity and if the plaintiff can prove his case the judge issues a court order that establishes title in the plaintiff.

Usually 'squatters' are a police matter.You may be required to produce evidence of ownership or stewardship over the property in order for the police to take action.It will also be a good idea to block the entry point once the squatters are evicted, so that you won't be required to perform this exercise again.
