The mayor of Tulsa, Oklahoma, rescinds a curfew for the area around President Trump's rally that had been imposed ahead of the event scheduled for Saturday
"Last night, I enacted a curfew at the request of Tulsa Police Chief Wendell Franklin, following consultation with the United States Secret Service based on intelligence they had received," Republican Mayor G.T. Bynum said in a statement Friday."Today, we were told the curfew is no longer necessary so I am rescinding it."Trump thanked Bynum on Twitter for revoking the curfew, stating that the mayor had notified him of the change during a recent conversation.
Then, after the rally, a continued curfew was scheduled to be in place until 6 a.m on Sunday."We understand that many people are unaware that a curfew will be in place and barricades are still in the process of being setup," the Tulsa Police Department said Thursday."If we find anyone in violation of the Executive Order this evening, we will request that they leave the area based on the curfew. If people refuse to leave the area, they may be cited or arrested.
