A suspicious package labeled “Anne Thrax” was left at the South Los Angeles office of Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) on Tuesday, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Portions of her two-story office building were evacuated as a hazmat crew investigated, and employees were allowed back inside after the package was reported safe. The LAPD Major Crimes Division has launched an investigation, according to spokesman Mike Lopez.
“There was no evidence of any dangerous substance at all,” he said. “They’re probably going to investigate to see where this item came from.”
Authorities were called to the Democratic congresswoman’s office at 10124 S. Broadway St. shortly after 2:30 p.m. There were no injuries reported. One person came into contact with the package but did not have any medical complaints, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. –LATimes

Late last month Waters canceled events in Texas and Alabama after she claims a “very serious threat” was made against her.
“There was one very serious death threat made against me on Monday from an individual in Texas which is why my planned speaking engagements in Texas and Alabama were canceled this weekend,” Waters said in the statement.
That said, Waters also told a Sunday congregation at the First AME Church in Los Angeles that God sent her to fight Donald Trump – so we assume that even if the Anthrax was real and she set foot in her own office, she would be protected by divine powers so she might continue her crusade against the sitting president.
