Incendiary device attack outside New York federal immigration office

The suspect’s identity and arsenal were much more developed on the right, but not uniformly. Daily Wire names him as “43-year-old military veteran Andrew Arrabaca” and says he had “two axes, a hammer, a machete, and multiple knives,” plus pellet guns and a “manifesto.” NBC’s short video blurb mentions “an apparent bundle of fireworks, an airsoft rifle and an incendiary liquid,” NYT says only that the suspect was an “Army veteran,” and WaPo and Guardian do not name him. OAN, meanwhile, says authorities had “not revealed the identity of the suspect,” so Daily Wire is the outlier in detail, not the whole right side. Guardian adds context that the right-leaning pieces do not: it says anti-ICE protests have grown as “the number of deaths at the hands of federal immigration authorities has increased,” names Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, Joan Sebastián Durán Guerrero and Jesús Manuel Arenas-Silva, and says Arenas-Silva was the “22nd person to die in ICE custody this year.” Daily Wire instead calls 26 Federal Plaza a “hotbed for anti-ICE protests,” and OAN notes only a reported “history of involvement in anti-ICE protests.” Word choice diverges sharply around motive and ideology. Daily Wire’s headline calls the suspect an anti-ICE “‘Extremist,’” quotes DHS calling him an “anti-ICE rioter,” and quotes Barnacle calling him an “anti-American, anti-government extremist.” The left-leaning headlines mostly use event language: WaPo says “Man sets off device,” Guardian says “explosion,” NBC says “setting fire,” though WaPo also says it triggered a “terrorism probe” and Guardian quotes Hakeem Jeffries saying “Acts of terror and violence have no place.” Injury counts and identities are muddy across outlets: Guardian says “three people were injured, two of them requiring hospital treatment,” Daily Wire says “Two federal employees and civilian sustained minor injuries,” and OAN says FDNY reported “three civilians” with one transported. No outlet resolves that discrepancy. Also unanswered: what the alleged “manifesto” said, despite Daily Wire and CBS saying one was found.
