For years, left-wing political violence in the US was often treated as isolated and/or a non-issue. The Trump administration is now calling it a domestic terrorism threat.

FBI Assistant Director in Charge James Barnacle described the incident outside 26 Federal Plaza in Lower Manhattan earlier today as an "anti-government attack on a federal facility." 

Watch the suspected left-wing radical attack the federal building, which houses offices for agencies including DHS, ICE, USCIS, the FBI, and the Social Security Administration.

Suspect identified as Andrew Arrabaca ... 

Barnacle also said the suspect carried a sign reading "ICE Off Our Streets," which suggests an association with left-wing groups.

Even The Atlantic had to recently admit there was a troubling rise in left-wing terror...

Last week, Secretary of State Marco Rubio addressed delegations from 65 nations about the alarming rise of far-left terrorism across the West.

Socialist NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani called the incident "deeply disturbing." Yet Mamdani and his unhinged anti-American DSA-ers have pushed an increasingly hostile climate toward federal law enforcement.

Suspect Arrested

FBI New York Joint Terrorism Task Force Investigating 

The FBI tells Fox News' Bill Melugin:

"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."

Melugin continued:

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

The attack at 26 Federal Plaza, which houses offices for agencies including DHS, ICE, USCIS, the FBI, and the Social Security Administration, comes days after Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned of far-left terrorism across the West.
