The curfew which has been in place in Baltimore over the last 5 nights, after protests caused by the death of a black man while in police custody, has been lifted.
Troops with the National Guard have begun withdrawing from the city.
On Sunday morning, Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said she did not want to maintain it longer than necessary.
"My goal has always been to not have the curfew in place a single day longer than was necessary," she tweeted. "I believe we have reached that point today."
Freddie Gray died last month after he was left with a broken neck during his arrest.
Baltimore's state attorney Marilyn Mosby said police ignored the unresponsive man, who had repeatedly appealed for help.
Six police officers have been charged with his killing.
