The FBI and many state law enforcement organizations launched investigations after more than 70 envelopes containing a “suspicious white powder” were mailed to Kansas politicians.
Numerous prominent figures, including politicians, received suspicious items on Friday, according to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI). Together with the FBI, regional law enforcement organizations, and sheriff’s offices, the KBI is gathering these letters in order to carry out more investigations.

“Law enforcement is working to safely collect the letters and investigate the incidents. Currently, no injuries have been reported, but we ask everyone to remain vigilant in handling mail,” KBI sent a statement through a spokeswoman.
Republican state Attorney General Kris Kobach and other GOP politicians are mentioned in the Kansas City Star story as targets.
The questioned envelopes include return addresses in Kansas City and Topeka, according to information provided by Thomas Day, Director of Legislative Administrative Services for the Kansas legislature, according to a report by the Kansas City Star. He further mentioned that the letters will be gathered and given to the KBI and FBI for additional examination.
Republican Senate President Ty Masterson urged senators to be cautious while opening their mail after law enforcement discovered that the parcels were being distributed. “If you have something that looks odd, please contact the KBI prior to opening OR if you find a white substance, please call the KBI prior to handling,” Masterson wrote.
In a statement to KMBC, Carrie Rahlfeldt, the communications manager for the Kansas Speaker of the House, acknowledged that a number of Republican politicians had received parcels. One legislator claimed it was obvious that Republicans were being “targeted.”
“We’re using our finest resources and it’s being squandered because someone – or a group of people – are very deliberately trying to make a point,”
stated Molly Baumgardner, a state senator. “Kansas Legislators that are Republican are being targeted. There appears to be some message.”
