Buildings across Mississippi and Arkansas received bomb threats on Thursday — one day after similar threats forced state Capitol complexes across the U.S. to evacuate.
Department spokesperson Bailey Martin said the agency was working with state and federal officials in investigating the threats.
Law enforcement officials in Florida, Massachusetts and Maine didn’t immediately respond to questions.
The agency added that it would “continue to work with our law enforcement partners to gather, share, and act upon threat information as it comes to our attention.”
Federal officials have warned that public servants at all levels of government have faced a huge surge in threats in recent years.
In September, Attorney General Merrick Garland testified that government workers had seen an “astounding” number of such threats.
In addition, several government officials have faced, in just the last month, an uptick in “swattings” — when someone makes a false report of a crime in progress to draw police to a certain location.
