D: With thousands of #NoKings protests set across the country — including in downtown Los Angeles — on Saturday, local officials extended the curfew in downtown L.A. at least through tonight. The LAPD confirmed the news to Deadline.
The ‘quiet zone,’ a 1-square-mile section of downtown, seemed to be yielding positive results, with less chaos and property damage overnight Wednesday.
The curfew took effect at 8 p.m. Pacific time and applies until 6 a.m., covering a roughly 1-square-mile area between the 5 Freeway, 110 Freeway and 10 Freeway. Authorities have warned that the curfew could be in place for several days.
After four nights of rioting and destruction, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass instituted a downtown curfew on Tuesday, leading to relative peace over the past three nights. With the curfew a demonstrated success,
California Gov. Gavin Newsom delivered a statewide address on Tuesday in the wake of immigration operations that sparked days of protest in Los Angeles and the deployment of hundreds of National Guard and U.S. Marines troops to the area by President Trump.
The curfew extends to sections of downtown Los Angeles where protests have turned into instances of vandalism and looting.
