This should be untenable for the residents of DC. Go make good trouble

To be clear, I am in no way supporting the current regime. That said, here's evidence of a summer curfew for the same neighborhood, last summer. This does support the idea that it's just a repeat:

How is a city-wide curfew enforced by the military the same thing as that?

Nowhere is that stated anywhere. You made it up. Op seemed to imply it but it's not a thing.

I think there is some confusion. Looks like the juvenile curfew has been around for a while, but recently Trump has taken over the police in DC and brought in the national guard - https://www.fox5dc.com/news/watch-trump-expected-address-dc-crime-monday-news-conference

Pasting fox news simply because it popped up on the previous link shared.

Yeah, be careful, you'll get downvoted. People are such binary thinkers that they think if you point out one side is wrong about one thing, you support the other side.

This is an insane overreach what trump has done and it's fucked. But it's not a curfew. That would add another layer to it. A full on police state.

Literally the link above my comment. And the image in the original post.
