US Edition26 Federal Plaza Evacuated After Suspicious White Powder Found
Hazmat teams responded after suspicious white powder was found in envelopes at a federal building housing ICE, with no injuries reported and an investigation ongoing.
- On Thursday, August 14, 2025, envelopes with white powder were found at 26 Federal Plaza’s ninth floor, prompting evacuation of ICE's New York field office.
- Inside the mailroom of the ICE Enforcement and Removal Office, five letters of white powder were found at about 4 p.m., with sender and motive unknown.
- Hazmat teams responded, and FBI Assistant Director Christopher Raia said, “We are working to assess the potential threat,” during a Thursday evening briefing.
- Testing has begun as the NYPD confirmed no injuries at this time, and results are pending.
- This building is under scrutiny as envelopes containing white powder were opened below a 10th-floor facility where a judge this week ruled ICE must end detentions, near the 12th-floor hearings site.
