FBI Director Kash Patel said on Friday morning that the FBI had arrested multiple people in Michigan, thwarting “a potential terrorist attack ... over Halloween weekend.”
Patel, in a social media post, said that other details about the arrests were forthcoming.
“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 wrote on X.
“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,” Patel wrote.
NBC News, citing four senior law enforcement officials, reported that the FBI in Detroit took into custody “a small group of young individuals ... who were plotting some form of attack with a possible reference to Halloween.”
