Bomb Threat Reported at Sen. Elissa Slotkin’s Michigan Home

LANSING, Mich. — Michigan State Police confirmed Friday that a bomb threat was made against the home of Sen. Elissa Slotkin, but officials said no one was in danger. The incident occurred just days after Slotkin publicly urged troops to disobey orders she described as “illegal,” according to authorities.

State police responded to the threat at Slotkin’s residence and conducted a thorough investigation, which included a search of the property. No explosive devices were found, and the area was deemed safe, a spokesperson said.

Authorities have not released details about any suspects or motives behind the threat. Investigators are continuing to review evidence and have asked anyone with information to come forward.

Slotkin, a senator from Michigan, recently made headlines after addressing members of the military, encouraging them to refuse orders they believe to be unlawful. The remarks drew significant attention and sparked debate about military obedience and legal boundaries.

The timing of the bomb threat has raised concerns about the safety of public officials and the potential consequences of politically charged statements. Security measures around Slotkin’s residence have been increased as a precaution.

This is not the first time Slotkin has been the target of threats related to her political positions. Officials have emphasized the importance of protecting elected representatives from intimidation and violence.

Law enforcement agencies are coordinating efforts to ensure the senator’s safety and to prevent any future incidents. The FBI and local police are involved in the ongoing investigation, working to identify those responsible.

Slotkin has not publicly commented on the bomb threat. Her office released a brief statement expressing gratitude for the swift response of law enforcement and reaffirming her commitment to serving her constituents.

The incident highlights ongoing tensions in the political climate, where public figures often face threats linked to their statements or policy positions. Authorities continue to monitor the situation closely.

Michigan State Police urged the public to report any suspicious activity and assured residents that safety remains a top priority.

Further updates are expected as the investigation progresses.
