A Flare of Extremism in the City That Never Sleeps The early morning hours of Monday brought a sense of unease to Lower Manhattan as Andrew Arrabaca set fire to the entrance of 26 Federal Plaza.
The building houses several federal agencies, including U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), immigration courts, and the FBI's New York field office.
Arrabaca, an outspoken opponent of ICE, had been vocal about his disdain for the agency. His actions have sparked a wider debate about the limits of dissent and the role of law enforcement in maintaining public safety.
