FBI statement to @FoxNews:
"This morning an individual deployed an incendiary device outside of 26 Federal Plaza. The individual has been taken into custody and the FBI New York Joint Terrorism Task Force is investigating the incident."

NYPD tells FOX there was a "found firearm" in relation to this event, but couldn't confirm if it was found on the suspect.

Fireworks set off outside 26 Federal Plaza, sources say, sending smoke billowing
Video shows smoke billowing from the ground outside the 41-story federal office complex by Worth and Lafayette streets.
By Jonathan Dienst, Tom Winter and Jennifer Millman   • Published 38 minutes ago   • Updated 9 seconds ago   

A possible anti-ICE activist who may have emotional issues wheeled a cart with fireworks and flammable liquid to 26 Federal Plaza on Foley Square and ignited a fire, sending smoke billowing into the air, three law enforcement sources say of the preliminary investigation.

According to the law enforcement sources, the man also had what appeared to be a few airsoft rifles, which are pellet- or BB-type rifles, in the cart. He was taken into custody.

Sources say the NYPD Bomb Squad is checking out his cart as a precaution. ...

It would be a shame if there was a rubber hose malfunction in the holding area.  Accidents do happen.

These are not just some crackpots off their pysch-meds.  This is an organized campaign of seditiion against the Federal Government and the federalist system.

Municipalities and states do not have jurisdiction nor standing for national borders.  Every "sanctuary" needs to be starved of Federal funds until they comply.

Blue jurisdictions are highly dependent upon Federal subsidization and backfilling of their state and local fiscal largesse.  Put the fiscal hurt on them.

Well that picture rules out a white nationalist connection.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

BREAKING: Manhattan Federal Building Hit with Molotov Cocktail; Anti-ICE Activist Arrested
Ed Morrissey  10:32 AM | July 20, 2026
   
 
ABC News calls this a "scare." It looks much more like a domestic terror attack.

A federal building in lower Manhattan got set aflame with an "incendiary device" this morning. The video of the attack, from two different angles, shows that the danger went well beyond a "scare":
 
ABC News went on to report that the device appeared to be a fireworks-initiated Molotov cocktail. Law enforcement immediately arrested a suspect, whose track record will surprise no one paying attention the last eighteen months:
