D.C. Council members Brooke Pinto and Council Chairman Phil Mendelson are pushing for an extension of the controversial youth curfew law, which allows police to declare youth curfew zones in certain neighborhoods. The current law is set to sunset on April 15. While proponents argue the temporary law helps curb down on fights and public nuisances, some lawmakers believe it's a harsh response to young people. The curfew zones were implemented last summer as part of a temporary law and can be imposed starting as early as 8pm, earlier than the citywide daily curfew of 11pm.
