TL;DR Summary

The Justice Department will prosecute parents of teenagers who violate DC’s curfew under a local law as part of a broader federal crime surge in the capital ahead of summer America 250th birthday celebrations. Officials said about 1,500 National Guard troops would be added to bring total to roughly 5,000, along with enhanced FBI and U.S. Marshals support. Local lawmakers have stalled on an emergency youth curfew; the Council’s longer-term measure awaits congressional review and would tighten weekend curfews and zones, leaving a gap this summer while federal action looms.
