The Justice Department brought federal terrorism charges Monday against two men tied to the bombing of a New York City protest.  One of the suspects threw a homemade bomb that was inspired by the Islamic State terrorist group, said Attorney General Pam Bondi.  “We have charged the two alleged ISIS-inspired terrorists who attempted to bomb a protest in New York City,” Bondi posted on X.  We have charged the two alleged ISIS-inspired terrorists who attempted to bomb a protest in New York City.We will not allow ISIS’s poisonous, anti-American ideology to threaten this nation.

About 125 people participated in the counterprotest. Police said suspect Emir Balat was among the counter protesters as he lit and threw a device, which extinguished before it exploded. Police also identified Ibrahim Kayumi as a suspect and arrested both him and Balat at the scene. After apparently igniting Device-2, BALAT dropped Device-2 near where several NYPD officers were standing, ran away from the NYPD officers, and jumped over a barricade. pic.twitter.com/q6w5pwV9x3— U.S. Department of Justice (@TheJusticeDept) March 9, 2026 Balat dropped a second device at the protest that police recovered and examined, New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said. The two suspects, already in police custody, were charged Monday in the Southern District of New York. The defendants were inspired by ISIS to carry out their attack,” Tisch said during a press conference Monday. “There should be no confusion about what ISIS constitutes.” New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch recognizing officials who responded to Saturday's bomb threat: "The NYPD remains on heightened alert, and our mission is simple, to keep New Yorkers safe.

It extinguished itself before any explosion. Tisch previously said she did not believe Mamdani and his wife were home at the time. Mamdani previously condemned the protest but also said, “Violence at a protest is never acceptable. The attempt to use an explosive device and hurt others is not only criminal, it is reprehensible and the antithesis of who we are.” Reuters contributed to this report.
