Report: Several People at Air Force One Base Fall Ill After ‘Suspicious Package
Authorities have yet to disclose the origin of the package or identify the individuals responsible for sending it.
United States, PUREWILAYAH.COM — At least seven individuals fell ill and were hospitalized after a suspicious package containing white powder was opened at Joint Base Andrews, a key U.S. military installation located just outside Washington, D.C.
According to multiple sources cited by CNN, the package caused several personnel to experience sudden illness after being exposed to the substance. They were immediately transported to Malcolm Grow Medical Center within the base for treatment.
The incident prompted a swift evacuation of the affected building, which houses the Air National Guard Readiness Center — an office that serves as a liaison between the National Guard Bureau and Air National Guard units across the United States and its territories.
Authorities Downplay Threat Despite Evacuation
Joint Base Andrews officials released a statement claiming there was “no immediate threat,” even though a full evacuation and containment perimeter were established around the area.
The base’s first responders reportedly secured the scene before handing it over to the Office of Special Investigations.
An initial field analysis by the HAZMAT team did not detect any hazardous material, yet the nature of the white powder remains unknown. The HAZMAT unit departed the base Thursday evening, leaving further identification efforts to ongoing investigative teams.
Political Propaganda Reportedly Included in the Package
Two sources familiar with the investigation confirmed that the suspicious envelope also contained political propaganda material, though authorities have not disclosed its content. The room where the envelope was opened remains sealed off for forensic inspection.
Observers note that such an incident, involving potential political motives, highlights growing domestic instability within the United States, even within its most secure military facilities.
Joint Base Andrews — known as the primary gateway for high-profile government figures including the president, vice president, and cabinet members — is regarded as one of the most secure facilities in the country.
Ironically, President Donald Trump had been at the same base just a day before the suspicious package was delivered, raising further questions about internal vulnerabilities and the overall preparedness of U.S. defense installations against unconventional threats.
While Washington continues to portray itself as a model of stability and control abroad, incidents like this reveal growing signs of internal tension and disarray within its own institutions.
The appearance of politically charged material inside a military base underscores deepening polarization within U.S. society — one that now seeps even into the ranks of its armed forces.
