佐治亚男子被控向亚特兰大移民执法局大楼投掷燃烧瓶
10月24日，美国有线电视新闻网报道，佐治亚州一名31岁男子因涉嫌向亚特兰大市中心的美国移民与海关执法局大楼投掷燃烧瓶，于10月23日星期五被起诉，罪名包括企图纵火联邦建筑和毁坏政府财物。据北佐治亚联邦检察官办公室通报，被告为道格拉斯维尔居民伊尼克·欣顿，监控录像显示他于10月20日星期二晚间点燃一件物品并扔向这栋多层砖楼，物品击中围栏后引燃，调查人员随后在现场找到烧焦的布料、打火机油、玻璃瓶和打火机。执法人员随后在亚特兰大郊区的一处住宅将欣顿逮捕，过程和平，检察官称他此前没有已知的刑事定罪记录。
联邦检察官西奥多·赫茨伯格表示，执法部门迅速锁定嫌疑人的工作“堪称典范”，并称对此类行为将以最严厉的态度起诉。该大楼外围有金属围栏，内设移民执法局办公室和移民法庭。据通报，若纵火罪名成立，欣顿最高可面临20年监禁，毁坏政府财物罪最高可判10年；法庭记录暂未列出他的辩护律师，检察官办公室与公设辩护人办公室暂未回应置评请求。

Georgia Man Charged With Throwing a Molotov Cocktail at the ICE Building in Atlanta
On Oct. 24, CNN reported that a 31-year-old Georgia man was charged on Friday, Oct. 23, with attempted arson of a federal building and destruction of government property for allegedly throwing a Molotov cocktail at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in downtown Atlanta. According to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Georgia, the defendant is Hinton, a Douglasville resident, and surveillance video shows him on the evening of Tuesday, Oct. 20, lighting an object and throwing it at the multi-story brick building; the object struck a fence and ignited, and investigators later found charred cloth, lighter fluid, a glass bottle and a lighter at the scene. Law enforcement officers later arrested Hinton peacefully at a home in suburban Atlanta, and prosecutors said he had no known prior criminal convictions.
U.S. Attorney Theodore Hertzberg said law enforcement's work in quickly identifying the suspect was exemplary and that such conduct would be prosecuted to the fullest extent. The building is surrounded by a metal fence and houses ICE offices and an immigration court. According to the announcement, if convicted of arson, Hinton faces up to 20 years in prison, and the destruction of government property charge carries up to 10 years; court records did not yet list a defense attorney for him, and the prosecutor's office and the public defender's office did not respond to requests for comment.
