The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) disrupted a planned terrorist attack targeting Halloween weekend in Michigan, according to officials. Operations occurred Friday morning in Dearborn and Inkster, with FBI Director Kash Patel stating the agency had “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 local law enforcement for their role in the operation, noting, “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.”
Details about the specific timing or location of the alleged plot remain undisclosed. A Detroit FBI spokesman confirmed operations in Dearborn, a city with a significant Islamic population, and Inkster, emphasizing that “the public faces no ongoing danger.” Dearborn officials reiterated this stance in a Facebook post, stating, “We want to assure our residents that there is no threat to the community at this time.”
The investigation is ongoing, with further updates expected as the probe progresses.
