A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in San Antonio was evacuated on Tuesday after it was targeted with an envelope containing a “suspicious powder.”

The substance was recovered near the ICE Homeland Security Investigations facility in the 1000 block of Jackson Keller Road.

In a statement sent to KSAT, an ICE spokesperson said the powder was an obvious attempt to disrupt operations and endanger its staff.

“ICE will not tolerate any threats or actions aimed at undermining its critical mission of enforcing laws and protecting the security of the United States,” the statement said, in part. “Those responsible will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.”

The spokesperson said that office personnel were evacuated immediately as a precaution.
