L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti announced today that the citywide curfew would continue on Monday evening, starting at 6:00 p.m. The curfew requires people within the City of Los Angeles to stay indoors tonight, starting at 6:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m. on Tuesday morning. There is an identical curfew in effect across Los Angeles County.
“The focus needs to stay on taking down systemic racism and ending senseless violence against Black men and women — and we can’t let a small number of people hijack that movement by putting lives in danger and destroying property,” said Mayor Garcetti. “We are keeping the curfew in place tonight to protect everyone’s safety and help our first responders keep the peace.”
This is the third day the City has been under curfew.
