Federal and local law enforcement agencies are actively searching for an unidentified suspect who remains at large following an attempted arson attack on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Atlanta, Georgia. The incident occurred on the evening of October 20, 2026, at approximately 9:00 p.m. at the ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Field Office. According to the Department of Homeland Security, the suspect hurled an improvised incendiary device, specifically a bottle, toward the facility grounds. The device failed to reach the building after becoming lodged in the top of the facility's security perimeter fence. An Atlanta Police Department officer stationed in the vicinity observed the throw and pursued the suspect on foot, but the individual successfully fled the area and has not been apprehended. No injuries or structural damage were reported as a result of the incident. DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin condemned the act as part of a dangerous escalation of violence against federal law enforcement, citing a significant increase in assaults against ICE officers. A joint investigation is currently underway to identify and locate the suspect, led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in collaboration with Homeland Security Investigations and the Atlanta Police Department. Investigators have released photographs of the bottle used as the incendiary device and images of the fence section where it became wedged. Authorities are urging the public to remain vigilant and report any information that could assist in the identification or capture of the individual. The suspect is considered dangerous and is wanted for attempted arson and assault on federal officers. Anyone with information regarding the suspect's whereabouts is encouraged to contact the FBI or the Atlanta Police Department immediately.
