The mayor signed an emergency order on Friday to reinstate a mandatory teen curfew for 15 days. The order takes effect immediately and will remain in place until June 6. The curfew applies when at least nine youths gather. It is intended to address recent incidents of disorder involving young people in public spaces.
Police responded after the gathering had been advertised in advance. The mayor’s office cited the incident in the five-page order. The document states that footage of the event showed individuals wearing masks and hurling chairs.
Council passed a longer-term measure earlier this month.
The bill is now under a 30-day congressional review and is scheduled to take effect July 16 if approved. The council could consider an emergency bill requested by the mayor on June 2. Past attempts to pass similar legislation have not advanced.
