It is a day ending with y and that means another far-leftist carried out an attack against the federal government by lighting a fire outside a building that houses the ICE field office in New York City.
Video shows a man dumping a flammable liquid on the ground by the building, setting it on fire, and tossing items into the flames. Video also shows what appears to be a firework exploding while police respond and apprehend the suspect.
“At approximately 8:20 AM, an anti-ICE rioter launched fireworks outside of 26 Federal Plaza, grazing a bystander and poured what is believed to be gasoline on the stairs of the entrance of the building and set it on fire,” the Department of Homeland Security said.
“A FPS Protective Security Officer swiftly tackled and detained the agitator, sustaining minor injuries during the incident. Officers quickly recovered the individual’s bag, which contained what appeared to be two pellet guns and a manifesto,” DHS added. “EMS, FBI, and the NYPD are on the scene. This is a developing situation and we will updated the public when more information is available.”
Reporters at the scene said an anti-ICE sign that says, “ICE off our streets” was left behind, along with a cart containing other items.
WABC reported the man who is in custody is believed to be a someone “with a history of anti-ICE activity.”
The attack comes shortly after two shootings by ICE agents in Texas and Maine, which resulted in the deaths of the illegal immigrants who agents were trying to take into custody. DHS maintains the shootings were in self-defense and defense of the public since the two deceased individuals did not obey commands to stop their respective vehicles.
NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Socialist who has called for ICE to be abolished, condemned the attack but notably did not say who the attack was against or who carried out the terroristic act.
It is comical at this point to claim political violence…
