A federal investigation is underway following alleged criminal damage to a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) warehouse in Surprise, Arizona. The incident happened at approximately 1:30 a.m. local time when the Surprise Police Department was called to the site after reports of damage. Upon arrival, police discovered a broken window and signs of minor fire activity, suggesting a serious but limited attack on the facility. As of Saturday afternoon, no suspects had been identified or arrested in connection with the incident.

This occurrence is part of a broader pattern of attacks targeting government facilities. The damage at the ICE warehouse comes shortly after an attempted arson at a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) office in Meridian, Idaho, where a suspect allegedly stole an ambulance to execute the attack. These incidents raise concerns about increased violence and targeted actions against federal entities, reflecting a growing trend of hostility towards immigration and customs enforcement agencies.

Authorities are likely considering the implications of these attacks on national security and public safety, particularly in light of rising tensions regarding immigration policy. The investigation led by the FBI will focus on gathering intelligence related to these recent acts of vandalism and potential connections between them, as keeping federal facilities secure is critical to maintaining order and compliance with federal laws.
