On Halloween night, Washington, DC's Navy Yard neighborhood became engulfed in chaos as a mass of teens engaged in fights and altercations with each other and with law enforcement. According to the DC Metro Police, they made many arrests, including at least one for a prohibited weapon.
Here is one brief video clip of some of the chaos as police chased down the offenders.

While the Trump administration has cracked down on adult crime in DC recently, more action clearly needs to be taken, and federal law enforcement officers can't do it all.
As a result, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser today declared a limited juvenile curfew for anyone under the age of 18, from 11 PM to 6 AM.
We are declaring a limited juvenile curfew in Washington, DC.

Effective immediately, all juveniles under the age of 18 are subject to a curfew from 11PM until 6AM, which will extend through 11/5.
This is in response to several weeks of disorderly juvenile behavior which…
In addition to this citywide curfew, the mayor also announced that the Chief of Police will have the authority to designate specific areas of the city for a curfew that begins at 6 PM.
The Chief of Police is also authorized to designate special curfew zones for youths under 18 beginning at 6PM.

This makes sense, as many on X pointed out to the mayor that 11 PM is far too late, particularly with Daylight Saving Time ending this evening.

Harmeet Dhillon praised the new curfew established by the mayor.
Well done. Credit where due! https://t.co/Yd6vDWah5X

Of course, the mayor did not announce what consequences youths would face if they violated the curfew, which is a pretty important question.
You know what would actually work? Punishment. Start locking up criminals whatever their age. And keep them locked up as an example to the rest.

This is a valid point, given that the people who viciously attacked DOGE staffer Ed 'Big Balls' Corestine were let off with only probation, a ruling that President Trump himself called 'stupid.'
(He really says what we're all thinking, doesn't he?)
Still, a curfew is a smart move. The mayor, who has supported Trump's federal cleanup of the city, deserves some respect for imposing it.
This is a terrific move. Not trying to push a biased point, but this never would have happened if Trump hadn't acted. He showed the city government what could be achieved, by muting the adult criminal perps. Ms. Bowser realized that only the kids remained to be addressed. 🤠👍 https://t.co/tVuQcssWN0

Thank you! Cracking down on crime is essential, and unfortunately a great deal of crime in DC is committed by juveniles https://t.co/hIzcxvBpgq

They do it because they know they will get away with it. But maybe this move by Bowser will signal a shift in punishing juvenile crime.
Thank you Mayor, please work with your council to allow juveniles to be prosecuted as adults.

If they commit a violent crime? Absolutely.
But Mayor Bowser's curfew also begged another question, one which has to be answered if DC is ever again going to be the city that the President wants it to be.
When I was a juvenile my parents imposed a curfew. Why aren’t there parents in your city?
— muralist1 (@1muralist1) November 1, 2025
Why the heck are parents letting their kids, under 18, stay out between 11pm and 6am unsupervised, to begin with??? They should be at home with their parent(s)! Not good parenting IMO.
— OregonCatPerson (@OregonCatPerson) November 1, 2025
Not only 'not good' parenting, but more likely no parenting whatsoever.
Charge the parent. https://t.co/JIWMXb5f8i

Now, there's a good idea. And maybe a necessary one.
It remains to be seen if Mayor Bowser's curfew will be enforced, whether that enforcement will reduce violence, or whether DC is even capable of self-governance.
We have our doubts about all of that (especially the last question), but, like Harmeet Dhillon, we'll give the mayor some credit for taking an unfortunate but necessary first step.
