A Threat from Within: The Fire That Exposed a Broader Concern The image of Andrew Arrabaca, an Army veteran, setting off fireworks and igniting a fire outside 26 Federal Plaza in Lower Manhattan is a stark reminder that threats can come from the most unexpected places.
But what's more concerning is not just the act itself, but the context and implications it raises. The incident on Monday morning had all the hallmarks of a deliberate attempt to cause chaos and harm.
Arrabaca, an anti ICE activist, was armed with a cache of destructive devices, including axes, knives, and commercial grade fireworks.
