Emergency fireworks-eve minor curfew ordinance

Detroit

Summary

The city wants an 8 p.m. curfew for unaccompanied minors in the downtown fireworks viewing area on June 22, citing teen takeovers and a 2025 shooting. Most public commenters opposed it as criminalizing youth; the committee sent it to council without a recommendation.
