Envelopes of White Powder Force Evacuation of NYC ICE Office

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office in the Jacob K. Javits Federal Office Building at 26 Federal Plaza, Manhattan, was evacuated late Thursday after staff discovered several envelopes containing an unidentified white powder, city officials said. Mayor Eric Adams reported no injuries and said New York Fire Department hazardous-materials teams secured the site and began laboratory analysis of the substance. Federal and local investigators are examining the envelopes and reviewing security footage as part of an ongoing probe into the source of the material.
