SYRACUSE, N.Y. (NCC News) – While the curfew has been lifted in Syracuse and Onondaga County, mandatory curfews continue to be in effect in cities all over the country.
Cities planning curfews include New York City, Los Angeles, San Jose, Portland, Atlanta, San Francisco, Detroit, Chicago and Rochester.
The city of San Jose, California declared a local emergency on Sunday, May 31 with a curfew from 8:30 p.m. to 5 a.m. The curfew will be in place for at least the next seven days but that is subject to change.
“Anger and peaceful protest will always be appropriate responses to injustice; violence will never be,” said San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo in a released statement. “San Jose is united in outrage over the atrocious crime committed in Minneapolis and in sadness over George Floyd’s horrible death. SJPD will take a measured approach in facilitating peaceful protest, but there will be no tolerance of violence to our people or damage to our city.”
Curfews will continue in various cities, while others will start to lift them. According to a statement, Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh has ended the city curfew, which was first imposed on Saturday, May 30. According to city and county officials, a state of emergency for Syracuse and Onondaga County is still in effect.
