Senator Schumer reacts after bomb threats in New York

An email indicated that bombs were placed in Binghamton, Rochester, and Long Island offices of the NY Senator

This morning, I was informed by law enforcement entities throughout New York of multiple bomb threats that were made at my offices in Rochester, Binghamton, and Long Island with the email subject line “MAGA” and from an email address alleging the “2020 election was rigged.”

Local and federal law enforcement responded immediately and are conducting full security sweeps. Everyone is safe, and I am grateful for their quick and professional response to ensure these offices remain safe and secure for all New Yorkers.

As I have said many times, these kinds of violent threats have absolutely no place in our political system. No one—no public servant, no staff member, no constituent, no citizen—should ever be targeted for simply doing their job.

Check out our reporting on Senator Schumer’s visit to Alfred University to announce an investment by the US Army:
