Chicago may soon empower its police department with sweeping authority to impose temporary curfews across the city in response to large teen gatherings and potential unrest. The revised proposal was introduced by Alderman Brian Hopkins following recent talks with Mayor Brandon Johnson and Police Superintendent Larry Snelling. It comes as the city grapples with the rise of “teen takeovers” — large, often chaotic gatherings of minors in public spaces that have led to violence and property damage. Unlike a blanket citywide curfew, the new ordinance would allow police to enact curfews in real time and in specific locations where they anticipate trouble. If passed, district commanders or the police superintendent could declare a curfew on short notice. A verbal warning would be required at least 30 minutes before enforcement begins, giving crowds time to clear out.
