Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Monday rolled back Chicago’s weekend curfew — from 11 p.m. to 10 p.m. — in a desperate attempt to stop an outbreak of youth violence downtown that culminated in the fatal weekend shooting of a 16-year-old boy in Millennium Park.
Lightfoot said it is with an “incredibly heavy heart” she’s signing an executive order imposing the hour-earlier curfew in conjunction with the weekend ban on “unaccompanied minors” at Millennium Park that will begin at 6 p.m. Thursday and continue “for the foreseeable future.”
