Michele Bachmann receives beefed up security after ISIS threat
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) has been given a personal security detail following an unspecified ISIS threat, according to Politico. The threat was made online, but neither Bachmann's staff nor Capitol Police would outline its exact nature.
Bachmann has been one of Congress' most outspoken critics of radical Islam, and last month she introduced a bill to strip citizenship from those who join ISIS. The security detail will reportedly remain in place until Bachmann leaves office at the end of her term.
