A suspect was arrested Friday after allegedly tossing a lit Molotov cocktail into the lobby of a
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office in
Florida, according to a report. It was the latest in a string of attacks against Homeland Security facilities.
Authorities
said the unidentified woman walked into the office in Oakland Park --
about 33 miles north of Miami -- and hurled a bottle of gasoline with a
lit fuse. But the fuse detached from the bottle before it could ignite,
according to a report of the incident sent to administration officials
and viewed by The Associated Press. No major injuries were reported.
Citizenship and Immigration Services — a Homeland Security agency — processes
legal immigration cases
and is run by Acting Director Ken Cuccinelli, who reacted to the
incident on Twitter late Friday night. Cuccinelli — a supporter of
President Trump’s hardline stance on immigration — has been tasked with
carrying out recent policy changes, including the so-called “public
charge” rule that could deny green cards to many legal immigrants who
use Medicaid, food stamps, housing vouchers or other forms of public
assistance, according to the Associated Press.
