FBI's Michigan Mission: A Halloween Scare Averted

The FBI recently stopped a possible attack in Michigan. They didn't give many details. But they said it was going to happen around Halloween.

Kash Patel, the FBI boss, wrote about it on social media. He thanked the FBI and other police for their hard work.

Activity in Dearborn

The FBI was busy in Dearborn, a city near Detroit. Dearborn is special because most of its people are Arab American.

• Local police said there was no danger.
• They didn't say if it was connected to the FBI's work.

Inkster and Governor's Response

Another nearby town, Inkster, also saw FBI activity.

• Gretchen Whitmer, the governor of Michigan, said she was told about the incident.
• She thanked the FBI and state police for their quick action.

Previous Incidents

This isn't the first time the FBI under Patel has stopped a possible attack.

• In May, they arrested a man who was part of the Michigan National Guard.
• He allegedly planned to attack a US army base.
• He was charged with helping a terrorist group.

Kash Patel's Appointment

• Patel became FBI director in February.
• He was chosen by former US President Donald Trump.
• Trump's government wanted to use the term "terrorist" for more groups.
• This includes some gangs and the antifa movement.
