Woman tosses Molotov cocktail into Fla. Citizenship office

WASHINGTON (AP) - A woman tossed a lit Molotov cocktail into the lobby of a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office in Oakland Park, Florida. But no major injuries were reported, according to a report of the incident sent to administration officials and viewed by The Associated Press.

The woman walked into the office Friday afternoon and hurled a bottle filled with gasoline and a lit fuse. But the fuse disconnected from the bottle and didn’t ignite, according to the report. Law enforcement officials believe she intended to cause harm but the incident wasn’t related to other incidents where Homeland Security agencies were targeted.

The incident comes amid federal investigators’ growing concerns about attacks on immigration agencies during a time of heightened emotion and scrutiny. The issue remains a political powder keg for both Democrats and Republicans as Trump continues to push for major changes on his signature issue and tries to energize his base by delivering on campaign promises.

Citizenship and Immigration Services handles legal immigration, and the agency has been in the spotlight recently. It is run by Acting Director Ken Cuccinelli, a supporter of President Trump’s hardline immigration policies who has presided over major recent changes that have prompted criticism from immigrant advocates.

How did the woman get into the lobby of the office of a federal agency with a bottle filled with gasoline? Around here in metro Baltimore, even the podunk local government offices have armed guards and magnetometers at public entrances.

"The official said the attacks were unacceptable."

".. but the incident wasn’t related to other incidents where Homeland Security agencies were targeted."

A disgruntled employee?

War is coming.

What you do between now and when it does is up to you.

While President Trump has been a godsend, he can’t change the inevitable. But his presence is giving us a little more time to prepare our minds and souls.

The article gives no clue as to what the woman’s views on immigration were.

“Security officers handcuffed her and subdued her until she could be taken into custody by Federal”

Didn’t give a name though. Must need time to scrub her internet wanderings.

His presence is speeding it up and that’s not an insult.

As long as Rs played the fool the left was good with letting us live.

Now that the real deal is in office, we all must die.
