A suspect is in custody after setting off what the FBI called an incendiary device outside an immigration court building in lower Manhattan on Monday morning. The FBI's New York Joint Terrorism Task Force is investigating, the agency said in a statement.
The device was detonated outside 26 Federal Plaza, a building that houses a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office. The New York Police Department told CNBC that somebody set off fireworks at the location.
The FBI did not describe any injuries or damage beyond the device itself. The suspect's identity and possible charges were not immediately released.
