West Sacramento, CA (MPG)  The West Sacramento City Council, in consultation with public safety leadership declared a local state of emergency and is implementing a city-wide curfew from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. starting tonight, June, 1, 2020.

This action follows consecutive nights of violent protests, looting, and damage to businesses in downtown Sacramento and break-ins last night at the West Sacramento Target store in Southport Town Center. There was also vandalism along West Sacramento's River Walk Trail and graffiti spray painted in the vicinity of the Tower Bridge.

The curfew is in operational alignment with a similar order issued by the City of Sacramento today.

The curfew was adopted during an emergency City Council meeting this afternoon, and requires residents to stay indoors from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. and each evening thereafter until further notice.

Dozens of cities in California have also enacted similar curfews.

Protests and vandalism have occurred in cities across the country after the death of George Floyd who died while in police custody in Minneapolis last Tuesday.
