FBI says a large firework was deployed in New York outside a building at the 26 Federal Plaza, setting the site on fire.

The suspect, 43-year-old Andrew Arrabaca, who was a mechanic on Patriot missile systems, has been take into custody following the Monday incident.

He was believed to be carrying anti-ICE and customs enforcement material and was described as an "anti-American, anti-government extremist."

The department of Homeland Security says the suspect allegedly launched fireworks outside the building and then poured what's believed to be gasoline on the stairs to an entrance and set it on fire.
