I honestly didn't know a curfew had been broken. All I knew was that Trump (well, Barr, actually) had the church grounds cleared through riot control measures OF ITS OWN CLERGY AS THEY PROVIDED AID TO PEOPLE in order to have this photo op.
Now that I read the curfew order, since the DC curfew exempts essential workers, which includes healthcare workers (who were among those providing aid), were they actually violating curfew? Did the curfew actually give LE the authority to run clergy members from their own church grounds, essentially confiscating the property?
