Bass enacts curfew in downtown L.A. to stem chaotic protests

Mayor Karen Bass has announced a curfew will be put into effect for a wide swath of downtown Los Angeles following four nights of sporadically chaotic protests during which law enforcement arrested around 300 people.

The curfew will extend from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. It will apply to the area of downtown from the 5 Freeway to the 110 Freeway and from the 10 Freeway to where the 110 Freeway and the 5 Freeway merge, Bass said.

The mayor made the announcement Tuesday evening. She had suggested earlier in the day that she would consider a curfew if violence broke out again.

"I wanted to let the city know that I have declared a local emergency and issued a curfew for downtown Los Angeles to stop the vandalism, to stop the looting," said Bass at an evening news conference.

This is who's supposed to enact a curfew, not man-child Trump or Drunken Hegseth.
