Call your reps again, please. And if they eventually have to cave on masks they damn well better get 24/7 visiting privileges at Trump's concentration camp detention centers. The only thing endangered by that is the Trump admin's ability to commit atrocities in secret.
Why are Schumer and Jeffries already caving on unmasking ICE?

The idea of buying commercial warehouses and converting them into detention camps is so viscerally chilling to people that it's being opposed even in places which might otherwise support new prisons.
Remarkable: Trump's planned migrant prison camps are hitting deep resistance in red areas. In Virginia's partly rural Hanover (+26 Trump) opposition is intense. GOP leaders in other states are opposed.

Trump’s New “Prison Camp” Threat Unleashes Fury Even in MAGA Country
The next phase of ICE’s big ramp-up: a nationwide network of vast detention facilities. But guess what? Even parts of Red America are saying no.

ICE and CBP agents seem to enjoy gratuitously breaking glass—from car windows to store fronts to homes. It’s an expression of unchecked power and dominance: “We’re in charge. We break and shatter what we want.”
And nights of broken glass have been a harbinger of worse to come.
