(WASHINGTON) — The homes of multiple Democratic members of Congress in Connecticut were targeted by bomb threats on Thanksgiving Day.<\/p>\n

Reps. Joe Courtney, Jahana Hayes, Jim Himes, and John Larson all said their homes were targeted on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis morning, I was notified of a bomb threat targeting my home where I was celebrating Thanksgiving with my family,\u201d Himes said in a statement. \u201cThankfully, after a swift and thorough response from the United States Capitol Police, the Greenwich Police Department and the Stamford Police Department, no evidence of a bomb was found.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hayes said in a statement she was notified by local police that it received a threatening email stating a pipe bomb had been placed in her mailbox at home. Police did not find any evidence of a pipe bomb in his mailbox and said there\u2019s no place for political violence in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cState police, U.S. Capitol Police, and the Sergeant at Arms were immediately notified. The Wolcott Police Department and State Police responded and no bomb or explosive materials were discovered and the scene was cleared. At this time the investigation is ongoing. I thank law enforcement for their swift attention to this matter, their actions demonstrate there is no place in our country for political violence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Local outlets in Connecticut reported that Larson and Courtney have received similar threats. ABC News has reached out for comment.<\/p>\n

Threats against multiple members of Connecticut congressional delegations come following several of Trump\u2019s cabinet nominees receiving threats, including Rep. Elise Stefanik, former Rep. Lee Zeldin, and Pete Hegseth.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear, though, if the threats against some of Trump\u2019s cabinet picks are connected to the threats against many of Connecticut\u2019s congressional delegation.<\/p>\n
