There have been more than 2,500 threats made against members of Congress this year alone
Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security, has urged Capitol Police to increase protections for Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and other progressive members of Congress, as threats against them mount.
On Monday, Thompson wrote to the Senate Sergeant at Arms Michel C. Stenger, asking him to convene an emergency meeting of the U.S. Capitol Police Board, which the sergeant at arms leads, to “re-examine the Board’s approach to analyzing the risk environment, setting thresholds for enhanced security for certain targeted Members, and evaluating threat streams with law enforcement partners in Member districts.”
Thompson wrote a follow-up letter on Thursday, in which he reiterated the need to provide additional security to four congresswomen of color — Omar, as well as Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) — who have been targeted in multiple racist attacks by President Donald Trump and his supporters over the past week.
