(CNN)Officials in Kenosha, Wisconsin, enforced their curfew selectively, targeting demonstrators protesting police brutality while allowing "militia members" and supporters of law enforcement to roam the street, a federal lawsuit alleges.
The curfew ended Wednesday, the mayor announced.
The civil rights lawsuit filed Tuesday comes after protesters took to Kenosha's streets decrying the police shooting of Jacob Blake earlier this month. A lawyer for Kenosha County and the Kenosha County Sheriff's Department called the lawsuit "entirely without merit."
"The Kenosha County Sheriff's Department has worked tirelessly to bring order back to the community and has been careful to protect the rights of all citizens throughout that process," attorney Sam Hall said, explaining he would seek immediate dismissal.
The four protesters named in the suit allege their constitutional rights, including their First Amendment right to peaceably assemble, were violated when they were arrested in Kenosha.
