FBI: Suspect in federal building attack was anti-ICE 'extremist'

(The Center Square) — A man arrested by federal agents Monday for starting a large blaze outside a New York City immigration court was an "anti-government extremist" who told law enforcement officials he was willing to injure or kill people, authorities said.

Andrew Arrabaca, 43, of Poughkeepsie, was taken into custody outside 26 Federal Plaza early Monday morning after authorities said he allegedly ignited a gas fire at the entrance of the building and set off fireworks before firing pellets from an airsoft rifle.
