Arsonist Attacks Washington State ICE Office, Throws Rock Through Window

Federal immigration agents escaped an arson attack at their office in Yakima, Washington, over the weekend, The Post has learned.

An unidentified crazed arsonist first threw a rock through a window of the building — which is listed as a field office on ICE’s website — before setting a fire in the back of the property on Saturday, Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told The Post.

Photos taken during the torching show flames charring the grass behind a chain link fence surrounding the building while a thick cloud of black smoke billowed above.

There were no injuries reported.

While McLaughlin said it’s not confirmed that immigration agents were the target of the firebombing, the building has public signage identifying it as a Department of Homeland Security office.

The complex, 140 miles southeast of Seattle, is also home to a Washington state Department of Social and Health Services office.
