Federal agents in Michigan arrested multiple people accused of plotting a violent attack over Halloween weekend, FBI Director Kash Patel announced Friday in a social media post.
According to The Associated Press, the coordinated law enforcement effort centered around suburban Detroit, with Patel saying more details would be released later.
According to two people briefed on the investigation who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity, authorities believe the alleged plot was inspired by Islamic State extremism and are investigating whether the suspects were radicalized online.
FBI and state police vehicles were seen in a neighborhood near Fordson High School in Dearborn, where agents wearing FBI jackets entered and exited a home — collecting evidence bags from a nearby truck.
