In preparation for the Democratic National Convention in Chicago next week — which starts on Monday and ends on Thursday — extra security measures are being put into place to protect big-name attendees from protestors and potential attacks from political opposers.
According to a recent report from Axios, congressional security officials have been advising House Democrats to be extra careful when making their travel plans for the convention, going so far as to urge them to book their lodging under different names as "hotels have been getting random calls asking for people," and to avoid certain areas where violent encounters may be more likely to occur.
