A new wave of threats and violent incidents that target officials in the United States this week erupted, which sparked more urgent calls to increase security measures a few days after one of the legislators in Minnesota and shooting at another.
Amid a series of attacks that included federal and local officials, the recent events included death threats against Zahran Mamdani, New York mayor’s candidate, an attack on the alleged road on Max Miller, a member of the Congress in Ohio, and an alleged kidnapping attempt targeting Paul Young, the mayor of Memphis.
The NYPD Police Crime Squad is investigating multiple threats to murder against Mamdani, a Muslim democratic socialist candidate in the final extending of his campaign and was approved by national figures such as Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Okasio Cortez. The intimidation included threats to detonate his car and the Islamic voice post that left in Mamdani’s office in the city of Queens in the city.
His campaign said on Thursday: “The violent and specific language of what appears to be frequent is concerned and we take all precautions,” and it blames threats for “Islam’s discourse, Islamophobi designed to division and hatred.”
Miller called the Capitol Police in the United States after “running away from the road” by a man who displays a Palestinian flag claiming to have shouted “death to Israel.” Miller, a Jew and in the US Holocaust Council, said that the accident occurred during his leadership in the Congress and that he knew the identity of the alleged striker, who also threatened to kill his family.
Early on Friday afternoon, a man was arrested regarding the accident.
The suspect was named Feras Hamdan, 36, from Westlake, near Cleveland, and the authorities said he handed himself over to the police and is scheduled to appear before the court, according to Local media reports.
Meanwhile, the Mjmenton police arrested Trenton in 25 years on charges that included chasing and tried to kidnap after he claimed that he had expanded a wall in Yong at Tennessee with what the police described as “nervous behavior.” The officers recovered “Taser, Gloves, Roll and Adhesive District” from the suspect’s vehicle.
A series of accidents came a few days after the murder of Melissa Hortmann, the representative of the democratic state in Minnesota, and her husband Mark, with John Hoffman, the Senate member of the state, and his wife seriously in a separate attack by the same militant last Saturday, such as the anti -Trump protests “not kings.” The suspect was arrested, Vans Politer, 57, after a large hunt and faced murder, amid reports that he was extremist and was supporting the stability and combating abortion.
The discovery of a list of success containing “dozens and dozens of” the names of democratic politicians in a Polyter has sent new shock waves across the political community. Hillary Schulton, a member of Congress from Michigan, canceled a public municipal hall, citing safety concerns.
The escalating threats have left members of Congress from both parties who are demanding additional security funding and strengthening protection measures in recent days, as fears grow that political violence has become natural through American policy. The Capitol Police requested nearly one billion dollars in financing for the next year, while Chuck Schumer, the leader of the Senate minority, published that “violence and threats against elected officials have increased significantly” and called for more money to protect legislators.
Capitol Police Investigation 9474 threat For legislators and their families last year, an increase of about 1500 compared to 2023, which has escalated over the past five years, but only reached its peak in 2021. Eight convictions have been presented Because of the threats in 2024, according to a letter from the two parties from Brian Steel, a representative of Wisconsin, and Joseph Morel, the representative of New York, he was sent on Tuesday to the Ministry of Justice.
Mike Johnson linked violence to a broader political speech. The Speaker of the House of Representatives said: “What happened to Max (Miller) this morning is another impoverished example of an unstable unstable speech to threaten and attack officials.” “We must reject the temperature in this country.”
