The Spanish government has issued an official notice dismissing Catalonia's leaders and dissolving the regional parliament.
This follows the region's declaration of independence on Friday.
The notice says Catalan President Carles Puigdemont will be dismissed, and that his duties will be performed by Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy.
It also says the regional parliament will be dissolved, and an election will be held on December 21st.
The notice also announces the closure of Catalonia's overseas offices in the United States, Britain and China.
Catalan Police Chief Josep Lluis Trapero was among those released. He gained popularity for his handling of the aftermath of the August terrorist attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils.
The Spanish government appears to be trying to restrain separatist activity by quickly bringing the regional security organizations under its control and establishing central rule.
The bill to declare independence was supported by just 70 members of the 135-seat Catalan parliament. Those opposed to the bill boycotted the vote.

A draft resolution Japan submitted to a UN disarmament committee has garnered less support than in previous years. Fewer references to efforts for nuclear disarmament are likely the main factor behind the decline.
The UN General Assembly's First Committee, which deals with disarmament, voted on draft resolutions submitted by various countries on Friday.
The committee approved Japan's plan with 144, or a majority, of votes. But that was far less than the 167 votes last year. More than 20 countries have opposed or abstained.
Japan has been submitting drafts every year for the past 24 years calling for the abolition of nuclear weapons.
All of them were adopted. This year, it cites the nuclear and missile threat posed by North Korea.
It emphasizes the importance of security, saying the goal is to abolish nuclear weapons by easing tense global relations.
But there were fewer references to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and no direct mention of the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.
As the only country to have suffered atomic bombings, Japan has served as a bridge between nuclear states and nuclear-free countries and endeavored to spearhead nuclear disarmament.
But Japan's position is being put to the test, as support for its draft resolution has waned.

US and South Korean defense chiefs say the deployment of heavy US military firepower to waters off the Korean Peninsula has had a deterrent effect on North Korea.
US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and his South Korean counterpart Song Young-moo met in Seoul on Saturday for annual security talks.
The chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Joseph Dunford, and his South Korean counterpart General Jeong Kyeong-doo also attended.
The defense heads agreed to expand the number of US aircraft carriers, bombers and other assets around the Korean Peninsula. The US military has already deployed 3 aircraft carriers to the region.
Washington appears to be increasing military, diplomatic and economic pressure on the North ahead of President Donald Trump's Asian tour, scheduled for next month.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg says the trans-Atlantic security alliance will strengthen its partnership with Japan in an effort to pressure North Korea to abandon its nuclear program.
Stoltenberg spoke to NHK ahead of his first visit to Japan since assuming his post. He is scheduled to meet Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and inspect a naval base in Yokosuka during a 2-day visit that begins on Monday.
Stoltenberg described North Korea's nuclear and missile development as "totally irresponsible and reckless behavior."
He said NATO and Japan will make it clear to Pyongyang that it will pay a price if it continues down that path.
Stoltenberg said the United States, NATO's biggest ally, is heavily involved in the defense of its allies, Japan and South Korea.
He said NATO will continue to support the 2 Asian neighbors because it recognizes that peace in the region is important for the security of NATO allies. Stoltenberg said he will discuss with Abe how NATO can strengthen its support.
The NATO chief said there is no doubt that North Korea is responsible for the ongoing tensions with the United States. He said the best approach is to continue to put pressure on the North in order to avoid a war, which would be a disaster.

CNN reports a federal grand jury has approved the first charges in the investigation into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
Neither the charges nor the person being charged is clear. But sources quoted in Friday's report say the target could be taken into custody as early as Monday.
Special counsel Robert Mueller has been investigating possible collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign.
US media reported in July that FBI agents searched the home of one of Trump's former campaign managers, Paul Manafort.
Media reports also said earlier this month that investigators had interviewed former chief of staff Reince Priebus and former press secretary Sean Spicer.
