Federal authorities seek suspect after attempted arson at ICE facility

The Washington Examiner reported that the Department of Homeland Security stated a man threw a bottle serving as an improvised incendiary device at the building on Tuesday night. [1]

The Department of Homeland Security told the Washington Examiner that the device caught on a fence during the incident. Officials stated that this event is the latest in a series of several similar arson attempts directed at immigration facilities this year. [1]

The attempt follows other recent violence directed at public figures and properties. As FTMQ News reported earlier, emergency services responded to a morning firebomb attack at a residence in Tralee, Ireland, on October 17. Additionally, FTMQ News previously reported that Australian Member of Parliament Helen Haines was critically injured in a deliberate vehicle attack outside her Victoria office on October 19. [2][3]
