Several Democratic congressional representatives from Connecticut reported that their residences were targeted by bomb threats, according to statements from the lawmakers or their offices on Thursday.

Representatives Jim Himes, Joe Courtney, and John Larson all indicated that bomb threats were made concerning their homes. The local police responded to these incidents, although they found no explosives present at any of the lawmakers’ properties.

This alarming situation occurred just a day after prominent Cabinet nominees and appointees of President-elect Donald Trump disclosed that they had also received bomb threats and experienced “swatting attacks.” These swatting incidents involve someone misleading emergency services to prompt a law enforcement response based on false information.

According to reports, Courtney’s residence in Norwich received a bomb threat while his wife and children were at home. Simultaneously, Himes mentioned he received notification of the threat against his home while celebrating Thanksgiving with his family. Responding to these threats were the U.S. Capitol Police, along with the police departments from Greenwich and Stamford.

Himes expressed his family’s deep appreciation for the prompt action of local law enforcement to guarantee their safety during this unsettling time. “There is no room for political violence in this country, and I hope we can all navigate the holiday season with peace and civility,” he stated. Larson also confirmed that the East Hartford Police attended to a bomb threat directed at his home on the same day.

These threats come in the context of a polarizing election season that has seen instances of violence. In July, a gunman fired shots during a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, resulting in one fatality among Trump’s supporters and injuring him slightly. Furthermore, the Secret Service successfully intervened in a potential assassination attempt at Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, after agents observed a gun barrel protruding through a fence while Trump was on the course.

Wednesday’s threats were not isolated, as several other political figures also reported similar incidents. Among them were New York Representative Elise Stefanik, who has been nominated by Trump as the next United Nations ambassador; Matt Gaetz, initially slated for attorney general; Oregon Representative Lori Chavez-DeRemer, chosen by Trump to lead the Department of Labor; and former New York Congressman Lee Zeldin, appointed to head the Environmental Protection Agency.
