LOS ANGELES, June 11 (Xinhua) — Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass announced on Tuesday evening that the second-largest U.S. city will impose a curfew in the city center from 8 p.m. local time (03:00 GMT Wednesday) to 6 a.m. Wednesday (13:00 GMT).
The curfew, as K. Bass noted, will cover an area of about 1 square mile.
Local authorities imposed a limited curfew in response to looting and vandalism that occurred in the city centre on Monday evening following largely peaceful daytime protests, she said.
The curfew does not apply to area residents, homeless people, members of the media, and public safety or emergency personnel, according to a statement from the Los Angeles Police Department.
Bass announced the curfew as protests against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids entered their fifth day. Local media reported that demonstrators had taken to the 101 Freeway, blocking traffic in both directions, shortly before the curfew was ordered. –0–
