LOS ANGELES (AP) 鈥� Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is lifting a curfew in downtown Los Angeles.
Her Tuesday announcement comes after she first imposed the curfew in response to protests against President Donald Trump鈥檚 immigration crackdown in the city.
Bass, a Democrat, said she鈥檚 lifting the curfew following 鈥渟uccessful crime prevention and suppression efforts.鈥� On Monday she trimmed back the hours after fewer arrests during evening demonstrations.
She says the curfew protected stores, restaurants, businesses and residents from people engaging in vandalism.
