“Police and K9’s at the Nobu Hotel in west loop … our news desk received an email claiming a pipe bomb threat at this and three other west loop / near west side hotels,” the local TV channel’s political correspondent Paris Schutz  reported on X.

The threat was reported after anti-Israel protesters marched outside the convention venue Monday afternoon — with multiple activists arrested after tearing down a portion of a security perimeter fence.
