Multiple people who had been allegedly plotting a violent attack over the Halloween weekend were arrested Friday morning in Michigan, FBI Director Kash Patel said in a social media post.
FBI and state police were in a neighborhood near Fordson High School in Dearborn. FBI personnel were seen going in and out of a house. An FBI spokesperson says investigators were also in Inkster, another suburb. Michigan's governor says she was briefed by the FBI director but shared no details.
Jordan Hall with the FBI Detroit Field Office confirmed that "members from the FBI in Michigan were present in the cities of Dearborn and Inkster this morning conducting law enforcement activities."
"There is no current threat to public safety," said Hall.
The Dearborn Police Department issued a statement saying it had been "made aware that the FBI conducted operations in the City of Dearborn earlier this morning."
"We want to assure our residents that there is no threat to the community at this time," the statement continued.
