Two people suffered minor injuries. The fire was extinguished before reaching the building itself, and officers apprehended the suspect at the scene within moments.<br \/>\nLaw enforcement sources say the man was carrying a pellet or airsoft gun along with anti-ICE material, and was pulling a cart containing additional airsoft-style rifles, fireworks, and other items \u2014 one bearing a sign reading &quot;ICE off our streets.&quot; It has not yet been confirmed whether any weapons found were real. Authorities describe the suspect as having a documented history of anti-ICE activity, though an official motive hasn&#8217;t been released.<br \/>\nThe FBI&#8217;s Joint Terrorism Task Force and the NYPD Bomb Squad are investigating. NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani called the incident &quot;deeply disturbing,&quot; saying his office is coordinating with the NYPD and supporting the federal investigation, and expressed relief that no one was seriously injured.<br \/>\n\ud83d\udd25 In this video:<\/p>\n<p>What happened at 26 Federal Plaza this morning<br \/>\nWhat investigators have confirmed about the suspect<br \/>\nThe federal and city response so far<br \/>\nWhat we still don&#8217;t know<br \/>\nThis is a developing investigation.
