| [NYP] Federal investigators thwarted a real-life Halloween horror by busting “multiple” terror plotters early Friday, FBI Director Kash Patel announced hours ahead of trick-or-treating getting underway across the nation. “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 posted on X. “Thanks to the men and women of FBI and law enforcement everywhere standing guard 24/7 and crushing our mission to defend the homeland.” A terrorist attack was thwarted early Friday as the feds busted “multiple” people plotting a real-life horror for Halloween, FBI director Kash Patel announced. FBI and state police vehicles were spotted in a neighborhood near Fordson High School in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn. Investigators walked in and out of a house, with one official collecting paper bags and other items from an evidence truck.
Authorities raided three homes in the Detroit suburbs of Dearborn and Inkster and recovered weapons including legally owned guns, the sources said. Those arrested were described as home-grown radicals, but authorities were investigating possible foreign contacts of the suspects. The alleged plotters spoke of launching a “pumpkin day” assault while they were under round-the-clock FBI surveillance and trained at a local shooting range, the sources said. A juvenile was among those arrested, two people familiar with the investigation told The Post, with one source specifying that suspect is 16 years old. There was internal dissent within the group about whether they should go ahead with an attack on Halloween, with some believing they needed more time to prepare, the sources said. It’s unclear how well-developed any attack plans were, with one source saying targets did not appear to have been picked out. Members of the group also were overheard speaking about visiting New York City’s Rockefeller Center and watching the sunrise at the Statue of Liberty — but sources said that trip was planned as a tourist excursion and there is no known threat to the Big Apple. Law enforcement sources specified to The Post there is no threat to Friday night’s Village Halloween Parade and added that the NYPD assisted in surveilling the suspects, without providing specifics. Patel’s tweet blindsided many federal and state officials and charging documents were not immediately available in the case, though FBI Detroit spokesman Jordan Hall confirmed “there is no current threat to public safety.” A senior US official, who asked not to be identified, told The Post that the Dearborn Police Department was informed in advance of the FBI operation, but Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was not given an early heads-up.
Sources tell The Post investigators will examine any connection between Friday’s arrests and the case of Said. Related: Dearborn: 2025-10-26 OK.
