Watch: Officials say suspect in Manhattan explosion had anti-ICE literature

Authorities have identified the suspect in a recent Manhattan explosion as an "anti-government extremist." The individual was reportedly carrying literature critical of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency at the time of the incident.

The explosion took place outside a federal building in New York City earlier this week. While details remain under investigation, law enforcement officials shared new information following a press conference. The suspect's anti-government and anti-ICE materials suggest a potential motive linked to political extremism.
