Pirro Launches Crackdown on Parents of Teens Behind D.C. ‘Takeovers’

The crackdown follows the passage of a controversial youth curfew measure approved

earlier this month by the D.C. Council in an 8-5 vote after weeks of heated debate.

The legislation gives the Metropolitan Police authority to establish temporary curfew zones where minors are prohibited from gathering in groups of eight or more after 8 p.m. Supporters argue the law is necessary to restore public safety after repeated disturbances linked to youth gatherings turned violent. Critics, however, contend the measure unfairly targets young people and risks over-policing minority communities.
