At approximately 8:20 AM, an anti-ICE rioter launched an incendiary device outside of 26 Federal Plaza, New York City, injuring a bystander, and poured what is believed to be gasoline on the stairs of the entrance of the building. Then he set it on fire.
The suspect is Andrew Arrabaca.
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 weapons and a manifesto. They always have a manifesto, and it’s always a crazed rambling diatribe. EMS, FBI, and the NYPD are on the scene. This is a developing situation.
Arrabaca, who is believed to be an Army veteran, said he was fine with injuring anyone going into or out of the building. The one victim was a migrant.

He was carrying anti-ICE material, airsoft rifles, a hammer, machete, knives, incendiary devices, and other weaponry. The media is already claiming he has mental issues to take the heat off the violent left.
The man is definitely an anti-ICE protester. Can we call them protesters when they are violent insurgents?
Fox News’ Sandra Smith: “They naming the suspect as Andrew Arrabaca… I’m being told that these are the things left behind by the suspect. It includes what looks like some sort of carry cart… with the words ‘ICE OFF OUR STREETS’… This was the anti-ICE stuff on the suspect at… pic.twitter.com/CIPbMQtIJ1

The FBI should arrest this mayor while they are at it.
🚨 NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani on ICE just weeks ago:
“I believe ICE is a cruel agency… a rogue agency that should be abolished.”
