It sure looks like President Trump was forced to intervene and get the planned curfew in Tulsa rescinded tonight ahead of tomorrow’s #MAGA rally:
I just spoke to the highly respected Mayor of Tulsa, G.T. Bynum, who informed me there will be no curfew tonight or tomorrow for our many supporters attending the #MAGA Rally. Enjoy yourselves – thank you to Mayor Bynum! @gtbynum

The mayor had put the curfew in place in anticipation of possible conflict between Trump supporters and anti-Trump protesters:

According to reports, the Secret Service was consulted before the curfew was discussed:

Earlier in the day, the state Supreme Court ruled supporters do not have to wear masks inside the arena if they choose not to:
