Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

FBI Arrests Florida Man After Supplying Him with Explosives

HeadlineJul 30, 2015

The FBI has arrested a Florida man for allegedly plotting an attack in support of the self-proclaimed Islamic State, after an FBI informant supplied him with a explosive device. The 23-year-old man, named Harlem Suarez, had been under FBI surveillance for months. Earlier this week, an FBI agent posing as an operative for ISIL took Suarez to meet another FBI agent, who gave Suarez an inert explosive device and told him how to use it. When Suarez exited the car, the agents arrested him.
