- City Administrative Officer Matt Szabo reported the protests cost roughly $20 million, with most expenses from LAPD overtime and damages, stating, "Well, it is certainly not sustainable."
- Mayor Karen Bass ended the downtown curfew after protests subsided, while police affirmed ongoing efforts to protect public safety and uphold lawful assembly amid concerns over constitutional press rights.
