Mayor Bass Lifts Curfew in Downtown L.A. Amid Easing Protests

Mayor Karen Bass has officially lifted the curfew imposed in downtown Los Angeles following a period of protests regarding immigration raids and anti-ICE actions. The decision comes as protests have largely eased, with most demonstrations remaining peaceful, despite some instances of violence and arrests. Downtown Los Angeles restaurants are hopeful that the lifting of the curfew will help restore business after facing significant impacts during the unrest. Law enforcement had previously established the curfew in an attempt to manage escalating protests, but with recent calm and success in crime suppression, the restrictions have now been reduced. The lifting of the curfew represents a significant move towards normalcy in the area, though the aftermath of the protests continues to affect local businesses.
