“Parental involvement has been a noted gap in any discussion,” Pirro said. “That ends today.”

The bill passed with amendments introduced by Councilmember Brianne Nadeau that place an expiration date on the curfew powers in 2028 and prohibit officers from sending curfew violators to detention facilities.

“I am not shy about looking for jail time,” she said. “The people of D.C. have had enough.”

Her remarks drew immediate praise from conservatives and law-and-order advocates who have argued that juvenile offenders frequently cycle through the system without meaningful consequences.
