NEW YORK, NY – A suspicious white powder prompted the emergency evacuation of 26 Federal Plaza last Thursday after it was discovered inside a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office, raising concerns about a potential threat to staff and visitors.
The Department of Homeland Security confirmed Monday that the federal building has since been cleared and reopened for normal operations. The unknown substance, which has not been publicly identified, led to a swift response from emergency personnel as a precautionary measure.
No injuries or illnesses were reported, and officials have not indicated whether the powder was hazardous. The source and nature of the substance remain under investigation.
