Sacramento City Councilmember Lisa Kaplan is supporting new emergency regulations that would dramatically increase firework fines this year. Next week, city leaders will consider an emergency measure that increases the penalty by ten times the current amount for some first-time offenses.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass announced the curfew on Tuesday. It encompasses a one-mile area of the city and is in effect from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. PT.

The curfew took effect at 8 p.m. Pacific time and applies until 6 a.m., covering a roughly 1-square-mile area between the 5 Freeway, 110 Freeway and 10 Freeway. Authorities have warned that the curfew could be in place for several days.

Los Angeles will allow ticket holders for Center Theatre Group's 'Hamlet,' L.A. Opera's 'Rigoletto' and others to stay out past Mayor Bass' curfew; the Broad museum plans to close this weekend.

The curfew extends to sections of downtown Los Angeles where protests have turned into instances of vandalism and looting.

A curfew was ordered for parts of downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday night, after police made more than 114 arrests Monday for looting and vandalism at dozens of businesses, amid ongoing protests over ICE raids.

In a recent court hearing, Snelling criticized a plan to allow CPD to issue 30-minute curfews, even though he defended the ordinance to the Sun-Times last week.

Amid a storm of protest and arrests in downtown Los Angeles, immigration authorities appear to be intensifying operations across Southern California as federal officials vow to press ahead with a crackdown on undocmented workers and residents.
