AP News in Brief at 12:04 a.m. EDT

Paris police imposed an overnight curfew on Monday in two regions of the French capital following violent riots that targeted city halls, public buildings, and businesses across the country. The curfew, in effect from 11 p.m. Monday to 6 a.m. Tuesday, restricts entry to Place de la République and the Les Halles shopping district, where rioting occurred on Saturday.

Gatherings and demonstrations are also banned after 8 p.m., according to the Paris police statement. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu had previously advocated for limited and localized curfews. The Justice Department has charged over 20 individuals in California as part of a campaign to prevent noncitizen voting during the upcoming midterm elections, despite limited evidence of widespread voter fraud.
