Detroit may send teens home early during the Ford Fireworks. Residents are divided

Detroit officials are proposing to move up the curfew for minors during the Ford Fireworks event, citing a rise in large, sometimes violent teen gatherings downtown. The proposal would require teens to leave public areas downtown and along the riverfront by 8 p.m. on June 22, earlier than the current curfew. The idea has sparked mixed reactions among residents and city leaders, with some supporting it for safety and others concerned it is too restrictive. The city council is deliberating whether the earlier curfew will effectively prevent incidents and keep teens safe.
