We just reinstated a limited juvenile curfew under a new emergency order in Washington, DC.
Here's how that impacts residents:
1. Effective tonight, 5/22, all youth under the age of 18 are subject to a 11PM citywide curfew.
2. Designated zones will be subject to an 8PM curfew as determined by the Chief of Police.
3. The curfew will extend through 6/6.
This order is an emergency tool that will address the next 15 days to preserve safety and protect peace in our community.

Late last night, a trespasser breached airport security at Denver Int’l Airport, deliberately scaled a perimeter fence, and ran out onto a runway.
The trespasser on the runway was then struck by Frontier Airlines Flight 4345 during takeoff at high speed. The pilot stopped takeoff procedures immediately.
The Frontier plane was then quickly evacuated while law enforcement and firefighters responded.
Preliminary reports are 12 people were hurt, with 5 taken to the hospital.
Local law enforcement handles airport security and is investigating with support from the @FAANews and TSA.
No one should EVER trespass on an airport.

If Spirit's shutdown affected your travel plans, we're here to help. We're offering reduced, nonrefundable rescue fares for the next five days across domestic routes (nonstop and one-stop via our hubs) and routes between the U.S. & Latin America. Learn more: https://t.co/XtUTgpqutQ
In coordination with our airline partners, we’re taking ACTION to bring relief to Spirit customers and its workforce.
From capped ticket prices for flyers who need to rebook to employees looking for job opportunities, there’s a lot of information you should be aware of.
Here’s the latest ⬇️
CAPPED TICKET PRICES
United, Delta, JetBlue, & Southwest are all capping ticket prices specifically for Spirit customers who now need to rebook cancelled flights.
To access these special prices, individuals will need to provide at a minimum a Spirit flight confirmation number and proof of payment.
Please refer to each individual airlines website for additional specifics.
REDUCED FARES
For any consumers worried about higher prices, American Airlines and Delta Air Lines are offering reduced fares on high-volume Spirit routes. Allegiant has also committed to freezing fare prices across routes that overlap with Spirit. To support impacted travelers, Frontier is offering up to 50% off base fares across its network until May 10.
EMPLOYEE SUPPORT
Most major U.S. carriers are extending travel pass benefits and spare jump seats to Spirit pilots, flight attendants, and other employees who need to return home. They have also offered Spirit team members preferential employment interviews to ensure they jump the queue.
Both American Airlines and United are creating microsites for Spirit employees looking to continue a career in aviation.
Refresher on Compensation Rules:
Per Spirit — the airline will automatically process refunds for any flight purchased through via credit card or debit card.
Ticket holders can also:
1. Contact your credit card company: If you purchased your ticket with a credit card, you may be protected under the Fair Credit Billing Act. Contact your issuer to request a "chargeback" for services not rendered.
2. Check your travel insurance: If you have travel insurance, contact your provider to see if your policy covers “insolvency” or “service cessation.”
3. File a bankruptcy claim: You may file a formal "proof of claim" with the bankruptcy court. Please note that this process can take time and may only result in a partial refund.
The Hilton donated the ~2600 dinners that went unserved at WHCD. They freeze dried the steak and lobster for longer shelf life before giving them to 2 shelters for abused women and children. HUGE thank you to the staff that worked through the night under terrible circumstances.
