The curfew was initially enacted to curb chaos following demonstrations against federal immigration policies. Bass noted that the curfew, coupled with crime prevention strategies, helped protect local businesses. LAPD plans to maintain a strong presence to ensure safety and lawful assembly. Downtown advocates express hope for economic recovery and long-term safety measures following the curfew's end.
