Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said a curfew will be imposed in the city’s downtown area amid the ongoing protests and unrest.
"I have declared a local emergency and issued a curfew for downtown Los Angeles to stop the vandalism, to stop the looting," she said during a press conference aired by Fox News. "If you do not live or work in downtown LA, avoid the area. Law enforcement will arrest individuals who break the curfew, and you will be prosecuted."
The restrictions will be imposed at 8:00 p.m. local time (3:00 a.m. GMT) and will remain in force until 6:00 a.m. local time (1:00 p.m. GMT).
