Kansas City女子向拟作ICE仓库的建筑投掷燃烧瓶纵火 判24个月并赔43612美元
Kansas City——位于 Missouri 州 Kansas City 的一名女子因持有两件未登记的破坏性装置、并用其向一处仓库纵火，10月28日在联邦法院被判处24个月监禁，刑满后另须接受2年监管释放。美国司法部密苏里西区联邦检察官办公室当天公布了这一判决。
被告 Dara S. O'Connor 现年30岁，住 Kansas City。联邦地区法官 Stephen R. Bough 作出上述量刑，并命令她就使用破坏性装置纵火给受害方造成的损失支付43,612美元；检察官办公室称，她已按认罪协议全额付清这笔赔偿。O'Connor 于2026年5月7日就一项罪名认罪：明知持有两件未在《国家枪械登记与转让记录》中登记的破坏性装置。
据检察官办公室公布的案情，2026年2月12日，O'Connor 试图放火焚烧位于 Kansas City 的 Botts Road 的一处仓库。此前有媒体报道称，联邦政府曾试图购买该仓库，美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）打算用它在遣返程序审理期间安置被拘留人员，但这笔房地产交易最终没有成交。
案发时，多家新闻机构正在仓库现场报道交易未成的消息，并目击、拍下了 O'Connor 走近建筑的过程。她向建筑投掷了两件燃烧装置——俗称燃烧瓶——瓶口的布质引芯在投出时并未点燃；多次投掷后，两个瓶子碎裂，瓶内可燃液体泼洒在建筑表面。O'Connor 随后点燃了泼在建筑上的可燃液体引发火势，又挤压一个装有助燃剂的瓶子、把助燃剂喷向火头以扩大火势。
纵火后，O'Connor 在附近路边坐下、使用手机数分钟；她点起的火在数分钟后自行熄灭，她随即驾车离开现场。本案由助理联邦检察官 Trey Alford、David Wagner 与特别助理联邦检察官 Brandon Chlarson 起诉，美国烟酒枪炮与爆炸物管理局（ATF）与 Kansas City 警察局负责调查。司法部称，此案属于全国性的「夺回美国行动」（Operation Take Back America）的一部分。
Kansas City Woman Sentenced to 24 Months for Throwing Molotov Cocktails at Warehouse Eyed for ICE Use, Ordered to Pay $43,612
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Kansas City, Missouri, woman was sentenced in federal court on October 28 to 24 months in prison for possessing two unregistered destructive devices that she used to set fire to a warehouse, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Missouri announced.
Dara S. O'Connor, 30, of Kansas City, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Stephen R. Bough to 24 months in prison followed by two years of supervised release. The court also ordered her to pay $43,612 for damage caused when she used the devices to set fire to the warehouse; prosecutors said she has paid the full amount under her plea agreement. On May 7, 2026, O'Connor pleaded guilty to one count of knowingly possessing two destructive devices that were not registered in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record.
According to prosecutors, on February 12, 2026, O'Connor tried to destroy by fire a warehouse on Botts Road in Kansas City. News reports had previously indicated that the federal government had attempted to purchase the warehouse and that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) wanted to use it to house people during the adjudication of their removal proceedings, but that real estate transaction did not occur.
News crews at the warehouse, reporting that the deal had fallen through, watched and recorded O'Connor approach the building. She threw two incendiary devices, commonly known as Molotov cocktails, at the building; the cloth wicks were not lit when thrown. After several throws, both bottles shattered and the flammable liquid spread over the building's surface. O'Connor then ignited the liquid, starting a fire, and squeezed a bottle of accelerant to spray more fuel onto the flames and spread the fire.
After starting the fire, O'Connor sat on a nearby curb and used her cell phone for a few minutes. The fire went out after a few minutes, and she left the area in her vehicle. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Trey Alford and David Wagner and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Brandon Chlarson, and was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Kansas City Police Department. The Justice Department said the case is part of Operation Take Back America.
