Kenosha County has ended the State of Emergency Curfew. The curfew was put in place after protesters began causing damage to businesses in downtown Kenosha following the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
“After consulting with local law enforcement agencies, I have decided the curfew is no longer needed,” mayor John Antaramian said in a statement. “The last several nights have been relatively peaceful in the community, and in the judgment of law enforcement, it is appropriate to remove the curfew. However, criminal activity will not be tolerated and arrests will be made if needed. I am hopeful there will be no need to reinstate the curfew in the near future.”
