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. 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.

Thankfully, Kash Patel and his team halted the terrorist plot before anyone was hurt.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer thanked Director Patel:

This morning, I was briefed by Director Patel on the thwarted potential terrorist attack in our state . As details continue to develop, I am grateful for the swift action of the FBI and MSP protecting Michiganders.

None of the subjects’ names have been released at this time, but they were all reportedly naturalized U.S. citizens, originally from the Middle East.

The terrorist plot was allegedly linked to ISIS.

NBC News has the latest update:

Federal agents took five people from Dearborn and Inkster, Michigan, into custody for an alleged plot to conduct an attack in the U.S. that has a connection to ISIS extremism, according to three senior law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation.

The five are naturalized citizens from a Middle Eastern country who had access to firearms and firearm training, two senior law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation say.

Three senior law enforcement officials say that no specific targets have been identified so far in the course of the investigation, which remains ongoing.

The officials said the group had discussed carrying out some sort of terror attack around Halloween — or what they allegedly referred to as “pumpkin day.” The officials said that was why the FBI made the arrests Friday, even though it was not immediately clear if the suspects had decided on a set time to try to move forward with any attack.

Two separate senior law enforcement officials say the group in Michigan had been tracked leading up to the arrests.

It was not immediately clear what, if any, specific targets had been identified.

Notably, Dearborn, MI has a Muslim-majority population.

They were the first U.S. to become majority Arab in 2023.

Here’s a clip from the city:

The Free Palestine people love to talk about how awful it is for people to be "displaced."

Dearborn, MI used to be white.

Dearborn’s Muslim Mayor Abdullah Hammoud has come under fire multiple times for trying to make the city more Arabic and alienating white citizens.

For example:
