## Resource

Manifesto, Weapons & Fire: Did the FBI Get This Right? A man allegedly ignited fireworks and a gasoline-fueled fire outside 26 Federal Plaza in Lower Manhattan, prompting an immediate arrest and an investigation by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force. Retired NYPD Sergeant Bill Cannon examines the suspect’s reported weapons, anti-ICE materials and alleged manifesto—and explains what investigators must prove before this can be classified as domestic terrorism. Was this a protest that escalated into violence, or a planned attack on the federal government?
