A suspicious white powder that led to the evacuation of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) field office at 26 Federal Plaza in Lower Manhattan was determined to be non-hazardous after testing, police sources said on Friday.
Hazmat teams responded Thursday afternoon after five envelopes containing the substance were discovered in a mailroom on the ninth floor of the building, which houses ICE, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and an immigration court. Some personnel were evacuated, while others were instructed to shelter in place after two people were initially exposed.
