FBI Disrupts Halloween-Plot in Detroit Suburbs

The FBI said it thwarted a potential terrorist attack planned for the upcoming Halloween weekend, announcing multiple arrests Friday in suburban Detroit. Federal agents executed raids and search warrants in Dearborn (near Fordson High School) and Inkster, seizing phones, computers, firearms and other evidence, with photos and footage showing agents removing items from homes. Reports indicate several people—some outlets say five—were taken into custody; authorities say they are treating the suspects as ISIS‑inspired or home‑grown radicals while probing possible foreign contacts. Investigators said the group discussed plans in online chatrooms (including a reported reference to “pumpkin day”) and that reported shooting‑range practice and other activity prompted undercover and longer‑running investigative work. Court documents are sealed, officials say there is no current threat to public safety, and more information will be released as the probe continues.
