DC Council votes in favor of another teen curfew
There’s a new teen curfew on the horizon in our nation’s capital. D.C. lawmakers are taking action this afternoon, just days after the latest teen takeover that was caught on camera and involved the National Guard.
WASHINGTON - The Metropolitan Police Department announced two more juvenile curfew zones in Washington that will be in effect this weekend.

Both zones will be in effect from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 15 and Sunday, Nov. 16.
These zones are in addition to the citywide juvenile curfew that's in effect from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. seven days a week.
The backstory:
The recent curfews started in early November, after large disruptions involving kids, like one in Navy Yard on Halloween that erupted into violence.
The D.C. Council then extended a curfew order citywide, and gave MPD Chief Pamela Smith to designate additional areas around the city that will be subject to stricter curfew restrictions.
The curfew applies to anyone under the age of 18, with several exceptions, like being accompanied by a parent or guardian, commuting to or from work, and more.
What's next:
The current curfew order went into effect on Nov. 7, and was authorized for 90 days. The order is scheduled to expire on Feb. 6, 2026.
Next month the D.C. Council is expected to vote to potentially make the curfew permanent.
