Baltimore Mayor Lifts 10 P.M. Curfew, Effective Immediately
On Sunday morning, Baltimore mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake announced via Twitter she was lifting the city’s 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew, effective immediately.
Effective immediately, I have rescinded my order instituting a city-wide curfew.I want to thank the people of Baltimore for their patience.

My goal has always been to not have the curfew in place a single day longer than was necessary. I believe we have reached that point today.

The curfew was set by Rawlings-Blake in response to rioting that followed Freddie Gray’s funeral and had been in effect since Tuesday. In the city’s original announcement, the emergency curfew was stated to last until May 4 “unless rescinded or extended by Order of the Mayor.”
