U.S. Capitol Police were ordered to start arresting visitors and staff who refuse to wear a mask on the House side of the Capitol complex starting Thursday.

Capitol Police

"This is such an overstep of Speaker Pelosi's authority to basically make our Capitol Police arrest staff members and report on members," Cammack told Fox News Wednesday."It's absolutely unconscionable that this is where we're at."Cammack, like many other GOP reps, are up in arms about the return this week of mask mandates at the House, regardless of vaccination status.

"If you are a Capitol police officer you got orders … if a vaccinated staffer comes across in the House side without a mask you're ordered to arrest them, but not on the Senate side," McCarthy said."This is not the America we know." The two-page guidance was issued by the new police chief, Manger, who took over on Friday to lead the Capitol Police force, which is still reeling from the Jan. 6 riot and Good Friday attack at the Capitol.
