Federal authorities are investigating a fire that damaged the headquarters of the Republican Party of New Mexico in Albuquerque. In addition to the fire, GOP representatives reported finding the phrase "ICE=KKK" spray-painted on an exterior wall approximately 50 feet from the entrance.

Officials from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) confirmed that "incendiary materials" were recovered at the scene, but they declined to specify their nature. No injuries were reported, but the fire severely damaged the building's entrance and caused extensive smoke damage.
