A statement from the Department of Homeland Security explained that Jovel was heard by security guards “yelling derogatory comments about U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement outside the downtown building on Monday” before launching two Molotov cocktails.


Be interesting to find out if Jovel is in the country legally. Anyhow not a hate crime.

In a news release Tuesday afternoon, the U.S. Department of Justice said Jovel faces a charge of attempted malicious damage of federal property.

. As amended on September 13, 1994, if the damage exceeds $100, the defendant is subject to a fine of up to $250,000, ten years imprisonment, or both.

Will they charge him under NFA for destructive devices? I think the required tax stamp is $200 each.
