US EditionICE-Owned Warehouse Found Damaged in Surprise: Police
The FBI and ATF are investigating minor fire damage and a broken window at an ICE warehouse amid recent threats against Department of Homeland Security facilities.
- FBI Phoenix opened a federal investigation into alleged damage at an ICE-owned warehouse in Surprise, Arizona, where police responded about 1:30 a.m. Saturday with ATF assistance.
- Officials say there has been a lot of rhetoric surrounding DHS leasing office space at this location, providing context for tensions, as the site was recently purchased by the Department of Homeland Security for ICE use and is known to the community.
- At North Dysart Road and West Sweetwater Road, the Surprise Police Department found a broken window and signs of minor, limited fire activity at the warehouse early Saturday morning.
- The case was transferred to federal authorities for further investigation, and as of Saturday afternoon officials reported no arrests while DHS, ICE and ATF did not immediately respond to inquiries.
- The report follows an attempted arson at a DHS office in Meridian, Idaho, where the Idaho suspect allegedly stole an ambulance, staged gas cans, and drove into the building before being interrupted.
