A 19-year-old Wisconsin man was arrested Sunday morning for setting fire to an office leased by a member of Congress in the city of Fond Du Lac .

The building was unoccupied when the fire started and no injuries have been reported.

The man reportedly told police he was upset about the TikTok ban, which prohibited users from opening the app starting late Saturday , but came back online Sunday after promises from president-elect Donald Trump not to enforce the ban.
