On August 14, 2025, multiple envelopes containing a suspicious white powder were discovered at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) field office located at 26 Federal Plaza in New York City. Emergency units, including hazmat teams, responded promptly, leading to the evacuation of the federal building. One worker was placed in decontamination, though there were no confirmed injuries. The FBI New York Field Office, in coordination with the New York City government and FDNY, initiated an active investigation into the incident. Officials later confirmed that the white powder found in five letters in the mailroom was not dangerous and posed no threat to the public. The FBI continues its investigation to determine the source and intent behind the delivery of the envelopes.
