Early this morning, FBI Director Kash Patel and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino announced that they have thwarted a potential terrorist attack in Michigan. In his post on “X,” Patel said that “several people” were arrested, calling it “an incredible success.”
In his X post, Patel thanked the “men and women of the FBI and law enforcement everywhere standing guard 24/7 and crushing our mission to defend the homeland.”
According to Patel, these suspects “were allegedly plotting a violent attack over Halloween weekend.”

Although the FBI has not named any of the suspects, Dearborn is a Muslim majority city and has recently been in the news. On September 9, during a city council meeting, the city’s Mayor Abdullah Hammoud told Dearborn resident Ted Barham he wasn’t welcome in the City after he objected to Wayne County’s decision to name a major street in Dearborn after longtime Arab-American leader Osama Siblani. Barham’s objection to the street being named after the 70-year-old Siblani was due to his ties to terrorist organizations Hamas and Hezbollah.
The Muslim Dearborn mayor has been criticized for what appears to be his attempt to alienate non-Muslims in the community, while making obvious attempts to cater to non-English speaking Muslim immigrants. A perfect example of Mayor Hammoud catering to the foreign population of Dearborn is his use of Arabic subtitles with his posts on X, like the one below, showing the Dearborn mayor introducing Dearborn’s latest all-Arabic magazine that’s mailed to residents.

According to Census data, Dearborn has a population of about 109,000 and became the first U.S. city with an Arab-majority population in 2023, the BBC reported.
