LOS ANGELES – Mayor Karen Bass has issued a curfew for Downtown Los Angeles. The curfew will be in place starting tonight from 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM. Mayor Bass was joined by elected, law enforcement and business leaders this afternoon to make the announcement.
“I am exercising my mayoral powers to implement a curfew within Downtown Los Angeles to curb bad actors who do not support the immigrant community. If you do not live or work in Downtown L.A., avoid the area. Law enforcement will arrest individuals who break the curfew, and you will be prosecuted,” said Mayor Bass. “The raids must end. I thank the Governor for his partnership and especially thank our state and local officers and deputies who are working tirelessly to keep Los Angeles safe.”
In addition to the curfew, Mayor Bass noted that hundreds of officers from police and sheriffs departments from across the region and state are working alongside LAPD through a unified command structure.
