Mayor Karen Bass announced a curfew for downtown Los Angeles as anti-ICE protests continued on Tuesday. The curfew will begin at 8 p.m. tonight, last until 6 a.m. on Wednesday, and apply to one square mile of downtown L.A. Bass said she issued the curfew " to stop the vandalism, to stop the looting." "If you do not live or work in downtown L.A., avoid the area," Bass said. "Law enforcement will arrest individuals who break the curfew and you will be prosecuted." Bass said the curfew's boundaries will encompass the area encircled by the 5 Freeway, the 110 Freeway, and the 10 Freeway and end where the 5 Freeway and the 110 Freeway merge. Bass said people who live, work and credentialed media representatives have limited exemption from the curfew. Those experiencing homelessness are also exempt from the curfew, according to police chief Jim McDonnell.
