## Summary

Federal authorities have arrested Inique Hinton, a 31-year-old man from Douglasville, Georgia, accused of throwing a Molotov cocktail at an ICE building in downtown Atlanta. Prosecutors called the incident an act of political violence and said attacks on federal property would be prosecuted severely.

The alleged attack took place shortly before 8.15pm on Tuesday, when the device reportedly hit the facility’s exterior fence and caused flames to spread. Investigators recovered burned cloth, lighter fluid, a glass bottle and a lighter; Hinton was arrested by the FBI in Cobb County on Thursday. If convicted, he faces at least five years and up to 20 years in prison for attempted arson, and up to 10 years on a separate government-property charge; the investigation is continuing.
