Bomb threat at Pope Leo XIV’s brother’s Illinois home found unfounded
In New Lenox, Illinois, police found a bomb threat targeting the home of John Prevost, brother of Pope Leo XIV, to be unsubstantiated after evacuating nearby homes and conducting a thorough search with explosive-detection K-9s; no injuries were reported and investigators are pursuing the threat’s origin, with charges possible for false reports. The incident occurred amid a public feud between Leo XIV and President Trump over Iran policy, though no link has been established.
