In response to the chaos that went down in Washington, D.C.’s Navy Yard on Saturday night, the city has implemented a new ‘juvenile curfew zone.’ On Saturday night, over 100 so-called “local youths” took over the park, riding dirt bikes and launching fireworks. There were reports of theft, and one person was also arrested for shooting a gun. Full scoop on that here: DEVELOPING: Shots Fired In Washington, DC’s Navy Yard As Over 100 “Local Youths” Take Over Park Luckily, there were no injuries after a teenage boy shot a gun at a group of teens. He has since been charged with endangerment with a firearm. WJLA provided an update on the shooting: A minor was arrested Saturday evening after a shooting in Navy Yard, Metropolitian Police Department (MPD) officials confirm. According to MPD officers, the boy shot at another group of teens on the 100 block of M Street, Southeast, around 9:26 p.m. No injuries were reported. Now, the city has established a temporary curfew in Navy Yard for those under the age of 18. Strange that D.C. is finally deciding to take action after President Trump threatened to directly seize control. Why didn't they do this sooner? ? BREAKING: A *curfew zone* has been put in place for “youths” in Washington DC following last night’s insane incident. This comes as President Trump is federalizing the city. Oh - so now they care. Too little, too late. The hammer comes down tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/bJWnqYngKz — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) August 10, 2025 Metropolitan Police Department Chief Pamela A. Smith enacted the Juvenile Curfew Emergency Announcement in order to implement the new curfew. A press release reads: Chief of Police Pamela A. Smith has announced the establishment of a Juvenile Curfew Zone in Navy Yard. The Juvenile Curfew Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 gives the Chief of the Metropolitan Police Department the authority to order a Juvenile Curfew Zone in an area where large groups of youths are gathering or intend to gather in a manner that poses a risk of substantial harm to public safety. WUSA9 reported on the details of the curfew: Under the curfew rules, there cannot be a gathering of nine or more people under the age of 18, in the designated areas, unless they are there for certain permitted activities, including: Being out with a parent or guardian Completing an errand at the direction of a parent or guardian, without detour or stop Riding in a car involved in interstate travel Working or returning home from a job, without detour or stop Becoming involved in an emergency Standing on a sidewalk that joins their residence or the residence of a next-door neighbor, if the neighbor did not complain to police Attending an official school, religious, or other recreational activity sponsored by the city, a civic organization, or other similar group that takes responsibility for the juvenile (this includes traveling to and from the activity) Exercising their First Amendment rights protected by the U.S. Constitution, including the free exercise of speech, religion, and right of assembly The curfew zone will be in effect nightly from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m., starting Sunday and lasting through Wednesday. This is in addition to the city's curfew of 11 p.m.- 6 a.m. every night for those under 18. While it's good the police are finally taking action against the rampant crime committed by teens in D.C., this feels like too little, way too late... It also comes one day before President Trump is set to make a big announcement on D.C. crime. Rumor has it that he may even be deploying the National Guard tomorrow: REPORT: President Trump Prepares to Deploy 1,000 National Guard Members to Washington, DC! What do you think President Trump should do to solve the violence and crime in our nation's capital?
