Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has reportedly ordered the Captiol Police to arrest staffers and visitors who violate the new mask mandate in interior spaces on Capitol grounds:
In today’s edition of Pelosi’s abuse of power, Capitol Police have been directed to arrest staff and visitors to comply with her mask mandate for vaccinated individuals.
For Members, they advise not arresting but “reporting Members to SAA for their failure to comply.”

Members of Congress will not be arrested, however, in a “nod to [the] Constitution”:
Capitol Police will arrest any 'visitor or staff' on House side of Capitol for refusing to comply with Nancy Pelosi's renewed mask mandate
In nod to Constitution, which says members of Congress are 'privileged from Arrest' in most cases at Capitol, they won't be arrested https://t.co/qf6UXF7o8A

This IS quite the comparison:

Unvaccinated, illegal border crossers bringing COVID into America’s interior: 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗮 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁. https://t.co/mWEebnkYlF
