1. Isn't that a predominant Muslim area?

Makes one wonder if this is a political stunt to satisfy Been A Dick Donald's hatred towards Muslims and get his MAGAt base riled up while at the same time, distract, once again, his role in the Epstein files.

Enquiring minds want to know.

I don't trust a fucking word coming from Been A Dick Donald's bought and paid for DoJ.

I used to live in Detroit. Dearborn borders Detroit and has the highest percentage of Muslims of any town in the USA I believe. I remember even going back to the Obama years there were occasional FBI arrests there.

is self-aware enough, or possesses the ability to analyze such things in a rational matter. However, for those who enjoy a bit of schadenfreude, there is that, eh?

In the south of Dearborn the signs are almost all in Arabic.

The west side of Dearborn is upper middle class and is changing although Ford Motor people dominate.

The news is saying to not worry, that we are safe. That seems too soon to say which makes me wonder why they said it. It could be a big show. Hard to know.

It wasn’t yet another MAGA monster. They would never, will never, investigate or announce the apprehension of right-wing nut jobs, with which this country is now lousy. Because it doesn’t feed their narrative.

But a brown-skinned person? A “moooslem” (I swear that’s how a lot of them say it …with a sneer)? Someone who donated $5 to Planned Parenthood in 2007, and is therefore an America-hating left-wing radical? Call a press conference!

And I co-sign what you said - there were some borderline honorable people in Corpulent Caligula’s first administration. There are ZERO this time around. I don’t believe a word any of them says.

So I wait to see the facts to know how serious a threat this was and if Patel is just making a mountain out of a molehill to try and make himself look good

Video report I saw from local news said Dearborn police were not informed of these raids and had no idea they were happening. Pretty irresponsible to not a least notify local police.

9. Latest update says they were "young individuals" with a "nexus to foreign extremism."

NBC News reported that four senior law enforcement officials familiar with the case said the FBI in Detroit apprehended a group of young individuals into custody Friday morning who were plotting some form of attack with a possible reference to Halloween.

Those officials say the group has a nexus to some form of foreign extremism, but did not say if it was ISIS, Al Qaeda, or some other similar ideology. Officials stressed there is no current threat to the public.

Shit, I did that when I was kid fifty years ago. And soaping windows, and TP-ing jerk neighbors trees.
