House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries condemned several threats, mostly focused on lawmakers from Connecticut, targeting members of his caucus, just days after numerous threats were made against President-elect Trump's Cabinet selections.

Jeffries, D-N.Y., confirmed in a statement Friday that several Democrats were targeted with threats ranging from pipe bombs in their mailboxes to "swatting" — or filing a false police report on another person's behalf that often results in a SWAT team being dispatched.

All of the threatening messages were signed "MAGA," Jeffries said, adding law enforcement found no ordnance at any of the targeted lawmakers' homes.

"America is a democracy. Threats of violence against elected officials are unacceptable, unconscionable and have no place in a civilized society. All perpetrators of political violence directed at any party must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law," he said. "House Democrats will not be deterred or intimidated from serving the people by violent threats. We have been in close communication with the Sergeant at Arms office and it is imperative that Congress provide maximum protection for all Members and their families moving forward."

Later Friday, President Biden told reporters on Nantucket, Massachusetts, that his administration is working "hard" with the FBI on the threats to lawmakers and Trump nominees.

After Jeffries spoke out, Rep. Seth Magaziner, a Democrat from neighboring Rhode Island, announced on Friday afternoon that his home had been targeted, as well. Magaziner said Providence police responded quickly and no one was harmed.

Sen. Christopher Murphy, D-Conn., had his home targeted by a bomb threat. A spokesperson said it appeared to be part of a "coordinated effort."

Five other Democrats from the Constitution State received similar threats, including Reps. Joe Courtney, John Larson, Rosa DeLauro, Jahana Hayes and James Himes.

"There is no place for political violence in this country, and I hope that we may all continue through the holiday season with peace and civility," said Himes, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee who replaced Sen.-elect Adam Schiff, D-Calif.

Prior to that spate of threats, Trump's U.N. ambassador-designate Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., said she was traveling home to her North Country district for Thanksgiving when she was informed of a threat against her home.

Former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla. — Trump's initial choice for attorney general — also received a threat.

Former Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y. — Trump's nominee to lead the Environmental Protection Agency — said his home was subjected to a "pro-Palestinian-themed" pipe bomb threat. Zeldin is Jewish.

Former Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer, R-Ore., whom the president-elect tapped for Labor secretary, said her Oregon home was targeted, as was that of former San Diego Chargers cornerback Scott Turner, whom Trump named to lead the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Trump nominees including Cantor-Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick, America First Policy Institute President Brooke Rollins and former Fox News host Pete Hegseth also received threats.

In a statement, the FBI said it is aware of "numerous bomb threats and swatting incidents targeting incoming administration nominees and appointees, and we are working with our law enforcement partners."

"We take all potential threats seriously and, as always, encourage members of the public to immediately report anything they consider suspicious to law enforcement," it said.

Four Connecticut House Democrats say their homes have been targeted by bomb threats on Thanksgiving Day. 

Each of the threats against Reps. Jim Himes, Jahana Hayes, Joe Courtney, and John Larson were determined to be unfounded and come after nearly a dozen of President-elect Trump’s Cabinet nominees and other appointees were targeted with similar warnings on Tuesday night. 

"This morning, I was notified of a bomb threat targeting my home where I was celebrating Thanksgiving with my family," Himes, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said in a statement. "Thankfully, 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." 

"There is no place for political violence in this country, and I hope that we may all continue through the holiday season with peace and civility," he added.

Hayes said she was notified by the chief of the Wolcott Police Department shortly before 8 a.m. this morning "that they received a threatening email stating a pipe bomb had been placed in the mailbox at my home." 

That department and Connecticut State Police then responded to her home and cleared the scene without finding any bomb or explosive materials, according to Hayes. 

"I thank law enforcement for their swift attention to this matter, their actions demonstrate there is no place in our country for political violence," Hayes also said. 

A spokesperson for Courtney told Fox61 that there was "no evidence found of a bomb" at his property in Vernon. 

"Joe and Audrey extend their utmost gratitude to the law enforcement officers, whose response should signal to perpetrators that these types of threats will not be tolerated," the spokesperson added.

Larson said in his own statement, "Early this morning, East Hartford Police came to my home in response to a bomb threat. 

"The police determined no bomb was present at the property and the Larson family is safe," he added. 

The warnings that the Trump Cabinet nominees and other appointees faced "ranged from bomb threats to ‘swatting,’" according to Trump-Vance transition spokeswoman and incoming White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. 

Sources told Fox News Digital that John Ratcliffe, the nominee to be CIA director; Pete Hegseth, the nominee for secretary of defense; and Rep. Elise Stefanik, the nominee for UN ambassador, were among those targeted. Brooke Rollins, who Trump has tapped to be secretary of agriculture, and Lee Zeldin, Trump's nominee to be EPA administrator, separately revealed they were also targeted.

A Connecticut university is roiled in controversy after a report revealed that the school was attempting to find "creative ideas" to offer undocumented students payment for their internships.

"They’re prioritizing citizens over noncitizens, and that’s the problem," Connecticut GOP Chairman Ben Proto told Fox News Digital.

The comments come after a Connecticut Inside Investigator report revealed that Central Connecticut State University (CCSU) officials searched for ways to pay undocumented students "in a way that doesn’t mention ‘employment’ or require a social security number," according to emails obtained by the outlet through a Freedom of Information Act request.

"The President’s Undocumented Student Committee is looking for creative ideas for helping undocumented (or underdocumented) students find paid internships/experiential learning opportunities," CCSU career coach Audra Mika wrote in one email, dated Sept. 13, 2024. "Other universities have set up grants, scholarships, fellowships, and stipends to pay these students in a way that doesn’t mention ‘employment’ or require a social security number."

"PJ and I want to see what is possible," the email, which was sent to the university’s grants department, continued. "Thank you for any suggestions you might have for helping our undocumented students find paid jobs."

That email was replied to by Kathleen Moore of the CCSU’s Office of Post-Award Grants with a warning that the idea would be "morally wrong" and "illegal" and also noted that grants were awarded via competitive application process and require anyone paid with grant money to be a U.S. citizen.

"If you were told that other universities are using grants ‘to pay these students’ you were misled, or those individuals are doing something illegally and, in my opinion, have no morals," Moore's reply read.

Moore’s email was later forwarded to CCSU Associate Vice President Carmen Veloria by Director of the Career Development Office Paul Rossitto, who wrote, "FYI, we have some people that work at the university that don’t believe we should help all students."

Meanwhile, the initial request garnered responses from officials at Southern Connecticut State University (SCSU), who noted that there is a scholarship fund for "Dream Scholars," though that scholarship only covers "Dreamers" under the controversial Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program and not for all undocumented migrants.

SCSU officials also noted that they offer the Monarch Scholarship and funds "for undoc [sic] students who work on campus doing an academic internship," while officials from another state school, Eastern Connecticut State University, suggested the institution encourage students to get Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITIN), but warned doing so "does not provide work authorization or legal status" to the migrant.

CCSU officials ran with that idea, encouraging undocumented students to obtain ITINs and then approach local businesses in order to gauge if they would be interested in "hiring/supporting undocumented students as interns" or work with the school’s Student Affairs Department, "to create fellowships, funding opps, stipends for undoc student workers (on and off campus); and to find and teach ‘allies’ what these measures could mean for CCSU."

To Proto, the story is just the latest example of government officials, employees and lawmakers in the state prioritizing the needs of migrants over the legal citizens of Connecticut.

"Where is the state focusing its energy? Should it be focusing its energy on the citizens of the state of Connecticut, or should it be focusing its energy on those people who are here illegally in violation of our laws," Proto said. "When you have the attorney general running around since election day telling everyone that he’s going to protect illegal immigrants… it seems like his priorities are in the wrong place."

In a statement to Connecticut Inside Investigator, CCSU spokeswoman Jodi Latina said that there had been "no intent to mislead or circumvent any laws."

"This email message was misinterpreted by the receiver. The committee member was exploring avenues to support students within the confines of what is permissible under the law," Latina told the outlet. "The requester was inquiring as to whether there are any avenues we aren’t already exploring that exist legally for undocumented students."

In a statement to Fox News Digital, Latina said that the university "has not and will not ever condone any activities that circumvent the law, and this committee was implemented only to coalesce legal means to support these students, as we endeavor to do for our entire Central Family."

Latina also shared a letter sent by university President Zulma Toro, who stressed that the school's efforts were limited to lawful programs.

"Our undocumented students are eligible for various sources of aid from private donors and/or the state of Connecticut. They are not, however, entitled to federal financial assistance, to participate in federal work study grants, become employed, and are prohibited from participating in many programs and experiential learning opportunities that require background checks and social security numbers," read the letter that was sent out to members of the CCSU community. 

"This University has not and will not ever condone any activities that circumvent the law, and this committee was implemented only to coalesce legal means to support these students, as we endeavor to do for our entire Central Family."
