Live explosive prompts evacuations at Department of Homeland Security office

A law enforcement K-9 sniffed out a live explosive device inside a package at a Cleveland Homeland Security office complex.Seven buildings at 925 Keynote Circle in Brooklyn Heights, Ohio, were evacuated Monday after the dog alerted investigators to a box containing the explosive, according to sources who spoke with the Fox 8 I-Team. No injuries were reported.The building houses a Department of Homeland Security office among its tenants. Brooklyn Heights Fire Chief Mike Lasky told Fox 8 the package was discovered during a routine inspection.The finding comes as DHS has documented a dramatic spike in violence against its personnel. The agency reported a 1,347 increase in assaults against Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers during the first year of the Trump administration, along with an 8,000 increase in death threats.That tension has turned deadly in the other direction, too. ICE agents fatally shot two U.S. citizens — Renee Good, 37, on Jan. 7, during an enforcement operation, and Alex Pretti, 37, on Jan. 24, during a protest against ICE raids — in Minneapolis, according to NBC News. Videos and witness accounts raised questions about the administration's accounts of both shootings.No suspect has been named in the Cleveland incident.The FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are leading the investigation.
