An arrest warrant was issued for a woman who refused to wear a mask at a Texas bank, saying to a police officer: “What are you going to do, arrest me?” Police issued a warrant for the arrest of Terry Wright, 65, of Grants Pass, Oregon. The incident on Thursday at a Bank of America in Galveston was captured by the officer’s body camera, the Galveston County Daily News reported. Police said they had obtained an arrest warrant on resisting arrest and criminal trespassing charges. Greg Abbott, the Texas governor, has ended statewide orders requiring people to wear face masks in public places, declaring

Comments:

"Don't mess with Texas"; what a joke. Illegal aliens are escorted across our border, no masks required, but if you try to close your bank account while not wearing a mask you'll be forced to the floor and later arrested because a bank is not a public place. Meanwhile, the so-called Bank of America makes a fortune on illegal aliens working under the table and wiring money home to family back in Mexico.

The problem is that the business requires a mask. I don’t like it. But wear one because I don’t want to get the business in trouble. The women could have just worn the mask and get her business done and walk out without wearing a mask. I do that all the tome. I’m leaving. They going to kick u out when your leaving ? The cops are doing their job. Sucks. But they are doing their job

The cop could simply have asked her what she needed and given it to the manager to complete her transaction, then walked her out. Instead, he pulls out handcuffs on a 65 year old woman that lives in an RV, and came to the bank because she needed some money to live on. It is the job of an officer to de-escalate a situation, not escalate it into the evening and national news.

This was 'Customer Appreciation Week' at Bank of America. I'm surprised she didn't get treated to the George Floyd neck pin as a parting gift.

She was arrested for refusing to wear a mask plus "Contempt of Cop." When a cop has wide discretion whether or not to arrest (majority of stops) it's best not to make up the cop's mind by being contemptuous.

No. 2 is correct. It's the business's policy. She did not wish to comply -> she was asked to leave -> she did not comply -> now she was trespassing -> she was made to comply. Aren't we LDotters usually the first to complain that we are becoming the dreaded "nation of men" rather than the "nation of laws"?

Businesses have the right to require masks. If you do not want to wear one, do not enter the business. It is the same as businesses requiring a dress code, shoes, shirts, ties, etc.

The question is not whether the business has a right to a customer dress code. The woman objected to the policy, and that's why she was there - to withdraw her money and close her account. It would have been her last trip to that bank, but instead, the bank made a big deal of her not wearing a mask, and no doubt damaged its public image.

#8, one might consider that the 'business', a public bank, had her money. With most other businesses you can go to another if you don't like their policies. When they have your money, and you want it in cash, well....

A business has a right to make the rules for their customers (in the tradition of "no shoes, no shirt, no service"). So I don't have a problem with them refusing to serve her if she refused to follow their idiotic rule (the nasty mask one). But, all that said, this is terrible PR for that bank. If I had an account there, I would have closed it as soon as I found out about this. Asking her to leave and refusing her service is one thing -- or even telling her they would be closing her account and issuing her a money order to take to another bank would have been OK. But having her arrested is terrible to do to any of your customers. And I truly hope they feel the wrath of many of their other customers for this terrible decision!!!

BofA cooperated w Feds and released customer info on customers’ travel charges and debits in and around Jan 6 in and near DC. Definitely reason to leave a bank... but as manager of #1 branch in service and sales in all of LA’s 52 branches [granted several years ago], it’s the manager’s job to quell a situation, not escalate it. Manager should have respectfully sat lady down in their office, watched as withdrawal slip was completed, obtained her current ID, gotten the funds for the lady at the teller line, and escorted her out. Period. Was that so hard? Manager needs training in customer service, even in ‘so-called’ crisis scenarios. KAG

I'm old, but I'm not stupid. Saying "what are you going to do, arrest me?" is an invitation to get arrested. This is not a hill I'd want to die on, much more important things to do than argue about a private company's decision to continue masking. And yes, I'm from Texas.

President Biden on Tuesday kicked off his “Help is Here” tour of the nation, intended to promote his just-signed $1.9 trillion COVID-19 stimulus bill, but he hardly mentioned the bill on what was supposed to be the first leg of a “victory lap.” Biden spoke for about 3 minutes with the owners of Smith Flooring Inc in Chester, Pa., before reporters were escorted out, with almost no mention of his first major legislative achievement as president.(Snip) The president—who picked his ear and scratched his head during an at-times awkward first tour stop—said this month he wanted to aggressively promote

Albany, N.Y.—On Monday, Assemblymember Jon Rivera and Senator Sean Ryan announced that funding for the New York State Enhanced Services to Refugees Program had “overwhelming support” in both Legislative houses. As part of the 2021 state budget, the Assembly approved $3 million in funding. The next steps for the approval process are pending.

The number of illegal immigrants trying to jump the border is on pace for the highest rate in two decades, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Tuesday, delivering a sobering account just a day before he is to face Congress. He placed blame for the situation on Mexico’s lessening cooperation, on the conditions in other countries, on the coronavirus and on the Trump administration—but did not mention President Biden’s changes, which many migrants themselves are citing as their reason for coming now. In particular, Mr. Mayorkas said the Trump team left “no plans” for protecting Border Patrol agents and others on the front lines
