The Juvenile Curfew Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 gives the police chief the authority to order a Juvenile Curfew Zone in an area where large groups of youths are gathering or intending to gather in a manner that poses a risk to public safety.
The Juvenile Curfew Zone, prohibits teens 17 and under from gathering in a group of nine or more in any public place, or on the premises of any establishment unless part of an exempted activity.
Adults who violate the Juvenile Curfew Act are subject to a fine not to exceed $500 or community service, the outlet noted.
Minors who violate the curfew may be ordered to perform up to 25 hours of community service.
“8:00 pm curfew in effect for juveniles. Do you know where your children are?” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) commented.

Read further info from the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department:
In Juvenile Curfew Zones, any person age 17 and under gathering in a group of nine (9) or more youths in any public place or on the premises of any establishment within the perimeter of an extended juvenile curfew zone must leave the area unless engaged in certain exempted activities. The Chief of Police will designate the curfew hours within these zones and communicate them to the public, but they will not begin before 8:00 pm or end after 6 am.
A list of declared Juvenile Curfew Zones is available in a link at the bottom of this page.
Pursuant to the emergency law, an Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC), business improvement district (BID), or Main Street organization may petition the Chief of Police to establish a Juvenile Curfew Zone with extended juvenile curfew hours in an area covered by, or adjacent to the area covered by, the organization. The petition must be approved by a formal vote of the members of the ANC, or the members of the BID or Main Street board of directors.
Yes. The curfew law applies to all persons age 17 and under who are in the District of Columbia during curfew hours. This includes both District residents as well as young people who reside elsewhere.
A parent or legal guardian of a juvenile age 17 and under commits an offense if he or she knowingly permits, or by insufficient control allows, a minor to violate the curfew law.
The curfew follows President Trump announcing a press conference to address crime in the nation’s capital on Monday morning.
“We Want Our Capital BACK,” President Trump Says – Warns Criminals Will Go To Jail
“We’re having a News Conference tomorrow in the White House. I’m going to make our Capital safer and more beautiful than it ever was before. The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY. We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital. The Criminals, you don’t have to move out. We’re going to put you in jail where you belong,” Trump said.
“It’s all going to happen very fast, just like the Border. We went from millions pouring in, to ZERO in the last few months. This will be easier — Be prepared! There will be no ‘MR. NICE GUY.’ We want our Capital BACK. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” he continued.
