Envelopes with unknown white powder found in ICE office in NYC: FBI
Federal authorities are investigating after envelopes containing an unidentified white powder were found at a government building in New York City that houses an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office, officials said Thursday. The incident occurred Thursday afternoon at 26 Federal Plaza, in Manhattan's Foley Square, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said. The five letters were found at about 4 p.m. in the mailroom of the ICE Enforcement and Removal Office on the ninth floor, according to the FBI. There are no known injuries or any threat to the public at this time, city officials said. "We are working to assess the potential threat," said Christopher Raia, FBI Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI's New York field office, during a press briefing Thursday evening. "In the majority of my experience, most of these incidents turn out to be nothing. However, this matter is not going to be taken lightly," said Raia, who noted that "sending threatening letters of this nature, whether real or a hoax, is a crime." MORE: Texas Democrats staying in Illinois evacuated over bomb threat Personnel in the ICE ERO office found the envelopes, according to Raia, who said two people were initially exposed. The substance is currently undergoing testing, officials said. Hazmat teams were on the ground "to ensure the safety of everyone inside and outside of the building" while awaiting the test results, the mayor said. The building was evacuated "per standard protocol," Raia said. New York City Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Kaz Daughtry said the city and federal partners are investigating and urged people to avoid the area. MORE: Judge orders DHS to improve conditions at New York City facility holding detained migrants The 41-floor office building is home to ICE's New York City field office, as well as the FBI's New York field office and an immigration court. It has made headlines and been the site of frequent protests over ICE operations in the city amid the Trump administration's crackdown on undocumented immigrants. A so-called "holding facility" for detained migrants is located on the 10th floor of the building. Following allegations of unsanitary conditions there, a federal judge this week ordered the Trump administration to ensure the facility is not overcrowded and that detainees are provided with hygiene products and confidential access to lawyers. The Department of Homeland Security denied the conditions in the facility were subprime. New York City Comptroller Brad Lander was arrested in June while observing proceedings at the building's immigration court. He was accused of assaulting law enforcement and impeding a federal officer but has not been charged.

FBI Reportedly Redacted Trump's Name in the Epstein Files
The FBI went through the Epstein files and redacted Donald Trump's name, according to the 'FOIA Files' newsletter by reporter Jason Leopold, published in Bloomberg Friday. It was previously reported (in a July letter to the Justice Department from Dick Durbin, the Democratic Senate Judiciary Committee ranking member) that, under Attorney General Pam Bondi's direction, FBI Director Kash Patel ordered around 1,000 FBI personnel to sift through more than 100,000 Epstein-related documents throughout two weeks in March. Working on 24-hour shifts, the staff were reportedly instructed to 'flag' records mentioning Trump, prompting Durbin to ask the DOJ: 'What happened to the records mentioning President Trump once they were flagged?' Leopold reveals that Trump's name was blacked out—as were the names of dozens of other public figures. The files then went before a unit of FOIA officers, and 'Trump's name, along with other high-profile individuals, was blacked out because he was a private citizen when the federal investigation of Epstein was launched in 2006.' The FOIA team reportedly cited an exemption protecting individuals from 'clearly unwarranted invasions[s] of personal privacy' and another protecting 'personal information in law enforcement records.' As Leopold notes, it's not very rare that even prominent public figures' names are redacted from records on privacy grounds. The rest is history: Bondi reportedly notifying Trump that he appears in the files; the DOJ and FBI releasing the case-closed memo; the ensuing (and ongoing) public outcry; the congressional attempts to force the files' release; and, now, speculations that Trump might corruptly wield the pardon power to pressure Ghislaine Maxwell, the currently imprisoned Epstein co-conspirator, to clear his name. The bottom line here, Leopold writes, is that the chances of Trump's name being unredacted anytime soon are slim to none. We can wait for all the people mentioned in the files to die. Or Trump could decide to voluntarily waive his privacy rights, allowing his name to be unredacted, which at present seems very unlikely.
