Kathy Hocul already proposed banning masks on the NYC subway because of the Gaza protests back in June. Given how dismissive to outright hostile they've been about being reminded of an ongoing pandemic ever since Brandon declared Covid over the first time, the slip is already well-greased.

wearing a cream-colored jacket, black face mask, and black and white sneakers, and carrying a gray backpack.

dang i sure how there wasn't a change of clothes in that backpack

it was a ski mask (not that that will stop them)
