Quote:[color=var(--tc,#222)]A Mexican restaurant in Houston says it’s been getting some “horrific” threats after announcing it was keeping its mask requirement as Texas reopens.[/color]
[color=var(--tc,#222)]Last week, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed an executive order [color=var(--lc)]lifting the statewide mask mandate[/color] and allowing businesses and facilities to operate at 100% capacity. The rollbacks go into effect March 10.[/color]
[color=var(--tc,#222)]After Picos announced it would still require masks for diners, co-owner Monica Richards said she started receiving some disturbing messages and calls from people threatening to [color=var(--lc)]report the Picos staff[/color] to Immigration and Customs and Enforcement, The Houston Chronicle reported.[/color]

[color=var(--tc,#222)]“It was [color=var(--lc)]just horrific[/color],” Richards told The Washington Post. “People don’t understand unless you’re in our business what it felt like, how hard it was to go through everything we went through during COVID. For people to be negative toward us for trying to remain safe, so that this doesn’t continue to happen, just makes zero sense to us.”[/color]
