Mask bans are back at a time when we need layered mitigations.
Hugely concerning the push for facial recognition in the UK also. Even though covid can cause neurological damage and we have poor or little vaccine access.

House passes bill that would criminalize protesting in a mask without a doctor's note
Anti-masking laws have never been taken up by the U.S. Supreme Court and have had mixed results in lower courts.

Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...
ICE’s excuse for wearing masks has never actually manifested
There have been incidents of harassment and threats. But there are no apparent incidents in which identified ICE officers have been assaulted off-duty.

derek chauvin was a minneapolis police department trainer too
The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.”
The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.
