Newport News, Va. — On June 9, Newport News City Council voted 7-0 to adopt an ordinance authorizing a temporary 7 p.m. curfew for unaccompanied minors in City Center at Oyster Point, effective June 10 and scheduled through July 5; the council also approved expanded police authority to respond to large pop-up meetup events.

Virginia Beach faced a judicial halt to a separate 9:30 p.m. all-ages Oceanfront curfew after businesses challenged the emergency order, while Myrtle Beach police reiterated a 9 p.m. Ocean Boulevard curfew for those 17 and younger; D.C. mayoral candidates discussed teen takeovers and public safety during interviews earlier this month.
