Santa Clarita city officials rescinded a curfew order after reviewing a letter received from the ACLU about a concern over the legality of the city’s curfew, which had been set to take effect at 6 p.m. Thursday.
“We respectfully request that you rescind or substantially restrict the curfew order issued on May 30,” the letter states.
The letter also mentions a lawsuit filed on behalf of “an organization and several individuals challenging similar curfews.”
The letter questions the constitutionality of a “sweeping restriction on free speech and travel across the city.”
City officials acknowledged the letter Thursday afternoon, and said it’s under review.
Los Angeles County rescinded its curfew Wednesday.
