Este suceso se da en medio de los crecientes roces entre el Vaticano y la Casa Blanca, ante las críticas de León XVI al Gobierno de Donald Trump.

Overview

  • New Lenox police said the call about a device at John Prevost’s house came around 6:30 p.m. Wednesday and set off an emergency response.
  • Officers set a perimeter, evacuated nearby homes, and brought in Will County sheriff’s bomb dogs before declaring no explosives or hazards.
  • No injuries or damage were reported, and residents were allowed to return after the sweep.
  • The department says the investigation is active to trace the caller and warns that false bomb reports are a felony that can lead to charges.
  • News outlets note recent friction between Pope Leo XIV and President Donald Trump over Iran policy, though police report no evidence that links that dispute to the threat.
