On Saturday, “an individual committed arson on a newly purchased ICE building” by breaking a window, igniting a fire and throwing a propane tank into the building, according to a U.S. Department of Homeland Security spokesperson.
“The fire was quickly extinguished by the interior sprinkler system,” DHS said, noting that the suspect fled the scene after setting the fire. “The matter remains under investigation by the FBI.”

Not really? The sprinklers put out the fire. The flood damage might or might not be a hassle to clean up, but it’s likely mostly mop work.
Depends on what kind of sprinkler system and how old it is. Some of them are closed systems and the water stays stagnant until it’s set off, so when it finally goes the water itself is a hazard because it’s been sitting potentially for years. It tends to come out very disgusting, black sludge that smells like actual shit. And then you have a whole specialized response and cleanup required because it’s loaded with bacteria.
They won’t clean it though, they’ll piss away more money to hire specialized cleaners and contractors to fix the damage
Filthy facilities are a perk for ICE, far as mistreatment of inmates go.
