On Monday morning, a \u200bman appeared to pour gasoline from a bucket onto the stairs \u200bof 26 Federal Plaza, an office tower that also houses the \u2060FBI’s New York field office, then set it on fire, according to authorities \u200band local news videos.

The suspect, who brought anti-ICE literature, also ignited fireworks, \u200bauthorities said.
The Department of Homeland Security said on X that a Federal Protective Service officer who detained the man, described by DHS as “an anti-ICE rioter,” sustained minor injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two other \u200bpeople were also lightly injured, James Barnacle, FBI assistant director in charge of \u200bthe New York office, told a news conference. Barnacle said the suspect was “an anti-American, anti-government \u200cextremist.”
\u2060James McDonald, deputy U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, said an investigation was continuing and no decision has yet been made on charges. Arrabaca could not be reached for comment, and it was unclear if he had \u200ba lawyer.

Arrabaca served \u200bin the Army \u2060from 2001 to 2005 and serviced Patriot missile systems, officials said.
Investigators on Monday traced the suspect to his home \u200bin Harlem, authorities said. Officials said he arrived in Midtown \u200bby subway \u2060on Sunday and spent the night on the street in Lower Manhattan.
“What occurred outside 26 Federal Plaza this morning was deeply disturbing. I\u2019m relieved no one was \u2060seriously injured \u200band that a suspect is in custody,” \u200bNew York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani told reporters on Monday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
