Bass says no "termination date" for DTLA curfew
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass says there is no end date for the curfew in place for a portion of the downtown area.
Bass on Friday was joined by nearly 30 congressional and state legislators to call for an end to the immigration raids that have sparked protests since last week.
"What happened to the goal of violent felons, gang members? What happened to that?" she said. "Los Angeles is about diversity, about embracing the immigrant population, is about celebrating the fact that there are sectors of our economy that, frankly, would not function if it was not for immigrant labor."
The mayor added she hopes the curfew will be lifted once the raids end. The nightly curfew has been from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, the Trump administration has now shifted its focus and has paused ICE raids on the agriculture, hotel and restaurant industries.
