"Law Enforcement" seizes hundreds of coronavirus masks to prevent use by protestors

The Huffington Post reports that law enforcement has siezed hundreds of coronavirus masks to prevent protestors from wearing them in public.

The U.S. Postal Service tracking numbers for the packages indicate they were Seized by Law Enforcement" and urge the mailer to contact the U.S. Postal Inspection Service for further information."

The U.S. Postal Inspection Service did not immediately respond to HuffPost's request for comment.

It's not entirely clear what law enforcement entity seized the masks or why.

Without masks, protestors have less protection against coronavirus (and may even be breaking the law). They are therefore less likely to protest and more likely to fall ill if they do.
