DEARBORN — The FBI arrested several people in Michigan on Friday morning in connection with what officials say was a potential terrorist plot planned for Halloween weekend.
FBI Director Kash Patel announced in an Oct. 31 post on X that the arrests thwarted a “potential terrorist attack,” though no details were released about the suspects, their alleged plans, or specific locations involved.
“The FBI thwarted a potential terrorist attack and arrested multiple subjects in Michigan who were allegedly plotting a violent attack over Halloween weekend,” Patel wrote. “Thanks to the men and women of the FBI and law enforcement everywhere, standing guard 24/7 and crushing our mission to defend the homeland.”
The Dearborn Police Department confirmed in a Facebook post that it was aware of FBI operations taking place in the city on Friday morning, but did not provide additional information.
Federal authorities said more details will be released as the investigation continues.
