‘Jihadi’ terror attack planned for Halloween weekend leads to multiple arrests, FBI says
A terrorist attack planned for Halloween weekend was prevented by arrests made in Michigan, said Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Kash Patel.
Patel offered few details, but Sebastian Gorka, deputy assistant to President Donald Trump and senior director for counterterrorism at the National Security Council, said in a statement on social media that the plot was “Jihadi” in nature.
‘The FBI thwarted a potential terrorist attack and arrested multiple subjects in Michigan who were allegedly plotting a violent attack.’
“This morning Federal agents, under the direction of @FBIDirectorKash and @AGPamBondi, successfully disrupted a Jihadi terror plot in Detroit timed for Halloween when innocent children should be enjoying themselves Trick or Treating,” Gorka wrote.
“The threat is real,” he added.
The Dearborn Police Dept. confirmed that there had been an FBI operation in the city Friday morning and that there was no longer any threat to the public.
A spokesperson for the Dept. of Justice said in a statement to Blaze News that the law enforcement operation also included the city of Inkster, another city near Detroit.
“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,” reads the statement from Patel. “More details to come. Thanks to the men and women of FBI and law enforcement everywhere standing guard 24/7 and crushing our mission to defend the homeland.”
The FBI operation in Inkster was focused on a storage facility on Michigan Avenue, according to a WDIV-TV report. WDIV reported on two FBI operations at two other locations but could not confirm whether they were related to the alleged terror plot.
“This morning, I was briefed by Director Patel on the thwarted potential terrorist attack in our state,” Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) posted to social media on Friday. “As details continue to develop, I am grateful for the swift action of the FBI and MSP protecting Michiganders.”
Dearborn is known for becoming the first Arab-majority city in the U.S. in 2023.
In September, Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud, a Democrat and Muslim, berated a Christian resident who objected to the city honoring a man who had made comments in support of Islamic terrorism.
“You are a bigot, and you are a racist, and you are an Islamophobe,” Hammoud said to the man. “Although you live here, I want you to know, as mayor, you are not welcome here. And the day you move out of this city will be the day that I launch a parade celebrating the fact that you moved out of the city.”

Vance schools yappy student on problems with immigration: ‘There’s too many people who want to come’
Vice President JD Vance taught college students an important lesson on the problems associated with mass immigration at a Turning Point USA event at the University of Mississippi on Wednesday.
After delivering his prepared remarks with Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk — emphasizing the importance of avoiding pointless foreign entanglements, securing America’s borders, and altogether prioritizing citizens — Vance respectfully gave a few students much-needed reality checks.
One of the questioners prefaced by noting that his girlfriend was studying in the country on a student visa, then asked Vance about his views on legal immigration.
‘My job as vice president is not to look out for the interests of the whole world.’
“Thanks in part to the Biden border invasion but also thanks in part to a lot of bad immigration policy, right now, we have let in too many immigrants into the United States of America,” Vance responded.
The Pew Research Center recently indicated that as of January 2025, there were 53.3 million immigrants living in the U.S. — the largest number ever recorded. Over 15% of all U.S. residents and 19% of the U.S. labor force were immigrants.
The vice president suggested that “the evidence is pretty clear” that a great many of the over 1 million migrants who legally enter the U.S. every year “are actually undercutting the wages of American workers,” and suggested that such wage suppression is what prompted President Donald Trump and his administration to encourage H-1B reform.
Vance indicated further that while the intended function of the H-1B visa is to attract and retain top talent from around the world, “what it’s actually used to do is hire an accountant at a 50% discount to an American citizen. I don’t think that we should be hiring accountants from foreign countries when we’ve got accountants right here in the United States that would love to work for a good wage.”

“We have got to get our overall numbers way, way down,” the vice president said, adding that the nation needs time to “build a sense of common identity” before admitting more people.
Vance’s remarks evidently vexed a young female student of apparent Indian origin in the crowd who used her time at the microphone to complain both about the vice president’s stated desire for his Hindu wife to one day join him in following Christ as well as his desire to taper the number of immigrants legally admitted into the United States.
“When you talk about too many immigrant [sic] here, what is — when did you guys decide that number? Why did you sell us a dream? You made us spend our youth, our wealth in this country and gave us a dream,” the woman said.
“How can you as a vice president stand there and say that ‘we have too many of them now, and we are going to take them out’ to people who are here, rightfully so?” she asked.
After clarifying that he was proposing greatly reducing the number of foreigner admissions in the future while honoring past promises to previous entrants, Vance stressed between interruptions from the woman that immigration policy should be adapted to the circumstances of the day.
“We cannot have an immigration policy where what was good for the country 50 or 60 years ago binds the country inevitably for the future,” the vice president said. “There’s too many people who want to come to the United States of America, and my job as vice president is not to look out for the interests of the whole world. It’s to look out for the people of the United States.”
While the questioner did not appear all too pleased with Vance’s America-first answer, the crowd burst into applause.
Before the conclusion of the event, the vice president told the crowd, “Despair is a sin. Do not give in to the sin of despair. Let’s keep fighting to save the United States of America.”

Illegal alien steals from SNAP program in massive fraud scheme
As more than 40 million Americans prepare for a disruption to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program handouts amid the Democrat-led government shutdown, a member of a fraud conspiracy related to SNAP has been brought to justice.
On October 15, an Italian illegal alien living in Oregon was sentenced to federal prison after previously pleading guilty to one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States.
‘By siphoning millions of dollars in government funds intended for food-insecure households, this illegal criminal alien proved to be one of the worst of the worst.’
Over the course of 14 months between August 2023 and October 2024, Giovanni Spirea, 29, and his co-conspirators purchased over 120,000 pounds of groceries using electronic skimming devices to steal SNAP benefits.
“Spirea shared stolen account information with other members of the organization, who, along with him, used the stolen benefits to purchase large quantities of infant formula, energy drinks, and other SNAP-eligible nonperishable food items from grocery stores … and through websites associated with grocery stores offering curb-side pickup,” the DOJ said in a press release.
The stolen items were then sold on the black market, the DOJ added.

Spirea and his co-conspirators operated in Oregon, Washington, and California. The estimated value of the stolen goods is $2.4 million.
“By siphoning millions of dollars in government funds intended for food-insecure households, this illegal criminal alien proved to be one of the worst of the worst,” said April Miller, Homeland Security Investigations Seattle acting special agent in charge.
“Protecting government-funded programs, like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program isn’t just about preserving funds — it’s about safeguarding trust in a vital lifeline that millions of families depend on to put food on the table,” said U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon Scott Bradford. “Today’s sentencing should deter perpetrators from defrauding American families and the federal government for personal gain.”
Spirea was sentenced to two years in prison, three years of supervised release, and was ordered to pay $61,874.32 in restitution. Sixteen others were charged in the conspiracy.

Leftist influencer calls for MORE MAGA violence
Jennifer Welch is a left-wing co-host of the podcast “I’ve Had It,” which boasts over a million subscribers on Youtube — and in a recent episode of the podcast, she not only praised those celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk but called for more of it.
“If you think this Zohran thing is happening just in New York, and you think people are waking up only in New York City, you’re mistaken. Look at this clip of a ‘wine mom’ at the No Kings march,” Welch said, before playing a clip showing a No Kings protester saying she was “glad” Charlie Kirk was assassinated.
“Charlie Kirk is horrible,” the woman told right-wing influencer Kaitlin Bennett in a man-on-the-street style interview, adding, “Yes, I’m glad he’s not here.”
“You’re glad he’s dead?” Bennett asked, shocked.
“Yes,” the woman replied.
“Why would you say something like that, ma’am?” Bennett asked.
“Cause he was horrible on the campuses, the college campuses. Horrible person,” the woman answered.
“You know what? I do the exact same thing. Would you be glad if I would die?” Bennett asked.
“Maybe. I’d have to think about it,” the woman said firmly.
After watching the clip, Welch laughs, before saying: “So listen up, Democratic establishment. You can either jump on board with this, or we’re coming after you in the same way that we come after MAGA. Period.”
BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales is horrified.
“Now you may be thinking to yourself, who is this evil witch? Well, her name is Jennifer Welch. And you may then say, ‘Well, what do I care what this random woman has to say?’ She actually has 1.3 million subscribers on YouTube. So as it turns out, there are a lot of people who are subscribing to this type of rhetoric and this type of evil, ghoulish behavior,” Gonzales says.
“So while this may be your first introduction to her, Democrats are listening to this, and she’s literally saying the Democrat establishment needs to get on board with calling for the murder of conservatives,” she adds.

Immigration raid at New Jersey warehouse busts illegal aliens, arresting 22% of workforce
Federal immigration agents executed a raid of a New Jersey container freight warehouse that resulted in the arrest of dozens of illegal aliens, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
‘DHS is committed to maintaining the highest levels of security and accountability within bonded facilities to protect both US commerce and the public.’
Activists arrived on the scene to protest as federal agents conducted the arrests, WCBS-TV reported. They claimed that most of those taken into custody were packers for the international shipping company.
Local reports indicated that DHS agents initiated the workplace inspection at a facility owned by Savino Del Bene, a logistics company headquartered in Italy.
The sweep resulted in the arrests of 46 illegal aliens, approximately 22% of the on-site workforce, a DHS spokesperson told Blaze News.

“The operation is part of DHS’ ongoing efforts to ensure compliance with customs and immigration regulations, safeguard the integrity of the supply chain, and verify that warehouse operators are adhering to all applicable security requirements,” the agency spokesperson said. “DHS is committed to maintaining the highest levels of security and accountability within bonded facilities to protect both U.S. commerce and the public.”

The spokesperson noted that the 46 illegal aliens will remain in DHS custody pending immigration proceedings.
Blaze News reached out to Savino Del Bene for comment.
This marks the third raid in Middlesex County in the past few months. Federal agents detained 15 employees from a wine and spirits warehouse in July and another 29 workers from a freight warehouse in August.
Atlantic Highlands Mayor Lori Hohenleitner stated that the town was not notified about the recent immigration enforcement actions.
“My police department had no idea that ICE was in our town at 6:30 in the morning last Sunday,” Hohenleitner stated, referring to the unrelated arrest of Ruperto Vicens Marquez, a longtime restaurant owner. Hohenleitner accused federal agents of wrongfully arresting Marquez, who, according to KABC-TV, has a valid and recently renewed work visa.

US strike against military targets in Venezuela could begin at any moment: Report
Trump’s administration is getting ready to order a military strike against targets in Venezuela, according to a Miami Herald report.
The reported goal of the strike would be to decapitate the leadership of the drug-trafficking organization headed by Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro.
‘What’s worse for him, there is now more than one general willing to capture and hand him over.’
The sources would not say if Maduro himself would be a target of the strike.
“Maduro is about to find himself trapped and might soon discover that he cannot flee the country even if he decided to,” the source is quoted as saying. “What’s worse for him, there is now more than one general willing to capture and hand him over, fully aware that one thing is to talk about death, and another to see it coming.”
White House deputy press secretary Anna Kelly released a statement seemingly rejecting the report.
“Unnamed sources don’t know what they’re talking about. Any announcements regarding Venezuela policy would come directly from the president,” she said.
The Trump administration had previously announced a $50 million reward for Maduro’s capture in August. It has also destroyed various boats that were reportedly in use by traffickers to bring drugs to the U.S.
“Please let this serve as notice to anybody even thinking about bringing drugs into the United States of America. BEWARE!” said Trump at the time.
Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna of California responded to the report and vehemently opposed the decision.
“Trump is getting ready to launch strikes inside Venezuela,” wrote Khanna on social media. “This is blatantly unconstitutional. Congress must speak up now to stop another endless, regime-change war.”
The Wall Street Journal also confirmed the report and that the strike would be a message to Maduro that it is time for him to step down.
Military expert Mark Cancian told the Herald that the military forces in the Caribbean were enough for a strike but not for an invasion.
“There isn’t enough combat power for an invasion,” he said, “but there is plenty for air or missile strikes against the cartels or the Maduro regime.”

Bodycam footage shows intense moment Border Patrol is surrounded by anti-DHS agitators
The Department of Homeland Security released bodycam footage of Border Patrol agents operating in the Old Irving Park neighborhood of Chicago and having to face a hostile crowd, resulting in arrests and the deployment of tear gas.
The New York Post reported on video taken by a bystander showing the arrest of a man who did not move his car when ordered to, as it was blocking the narrow road. The arrestee’s running club said the man is a U.S. citizen and suffered six broken ribs during the arrest.
‘After spewing profanities at law enforcement, he proceeded to charge out of his car toward law enforcement and resisted arrest.’
In response to the report, DHS released the bodycam footage from one of the arresting agents showing the man not only refusing to move his vehicle, but also getting out of the car to physically confront the agents. The driver was not dragged out of the car, DHS video showed.
“After spewing profanities at law enforcement, he proceeded to charge out of his car toward law enforcement and resisted arrest. During the arrest another U.S. citizen assaulted the arresting agent, striking him in the head. Both were arrested,” DHS said.
DHS noted the reason for the operation in that neighborhood was to arrest an illegal alien from Mexico who had previously been arrested for assault.
“Secretary Noem’s message to the rioters is clear: you will not stop us or slow us down. DHS and our federal law enforcement partners will continue to enforce the law,” DHS said.
In a press conference in neighboring Indiana on Thursday, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced that Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have arrested over 3,000 illegal aliens since Operation Midway Blitz started in September.

While the main focus has been on Chicago, the operation has successfully arrested 146 drivers who are in the United States illegally in Indiana by working with state law enforcement. This includes drivers of 18-wheelers, box trucks, buses, and moving vans.

The game was fixed long before the bets were legal
The integrity of sports is in trouble again, or so the headlines say. The FBI last week arrested more than 30 people in a wide-ranging gambling probe that ensnared Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier.
A former Cleveland Cavaliers player, Damon Jones, was also charged in two separate cases — one involving sports betting improprieties, the other tied to Billups’ alleged participation in an illegal poker ring linked to the mafia.
Cheating is illegal. Addiction is tragic. But gambling itself isn’t a sin against the republic.
Given the timing — amid public debate over legalized sports wagering since 2018 — the FBI’s sweep might look like vindication for critics of betting. It isn’t.
Millionaires behaving badly
When federal agents arrest millionaire athletes and coaches for gambling crimes, it raises an obvious question: Is legalized sports betting really to blame?
Rozier’s salary cap for the 2025-26 season is $26.6 million. His career earnings total more than $160 million. Billups made $4.7 million during the 2024-25 NBA season. Disgraced Toronto Raptors player Jontay Porter, 25, had earned $2.7 million before his ban for sharing medical information to steer bets.
When people earn sums that most Americans can’t even imagine, they often invent new ways to ruin themselves. The average NBA salary in 1991 was $800,000; today it’s more than $8 million. As David Cone of Crain and Company observed, “Even if you’re just on a roster, you make more than doctors make. There’s no excuse.”
There really isn’t. This scandal is less about gambling and more about human nature — about greed, self-destruction, and the moral rot that wealth alone can’t fix. The Supreme Court’s decision to legalize small wagers didn’t make multimillionaires betray their sport for a few illegal dollars. They did that on their own.
The moral lesson that hasn’t changed
When infielder Fred McMullin went down in the 1919 “Black Sox” scandal, he earned $3,500 a year — roughly $67,000 in today’s money. Those players were underpaid and easily tempted. No one can say that about professional athletes or coaches today.
Legalized betting didn’t create this corruption, and FBI Director Kash Patel said as much during an interview with Laura Ingraham on Fox News.
Critics overplay their hand
A video clip from ESPN’s “Get Up” made the rounds this week after producers hastily removed an on-screen ad for ESPN Bet during coverage of the scandal. The network’s discomfort spurred an online feeding frenzy from the right’s new morality police, who pounced on the moment as proof of hypocrisy.
Saagar Enjeti circled the ad and captioned it, “Spot the problem.” But the real problem isn’t the ad; it’s addiction and bad character. Billups apparently got hooked on poker. Rozier and Jones broke the law and got caught in an era when every transaction and text leaves a trail.
Enjeti calls this “uncontrolled.” Tell that to the players facing federal indictments. Gambling today is more visible, traceable, and regulated than ever before. The temptation hasn’t changed — the surveillance has.

Americans were always betting
Critics say the explosion of legal sportsbooks has opened new avenues for corruption. Maybe. But it has also pulled a massive shadow economy into the light. Americans didn’t wait for the Supreme Court’s permission to wager; by 2015, they were already betting an estimated $150 billion a year on illegal offshore sites.
Yes, the sector’s growth has been explosive. And yes, it’s unsettling to see leagues, networks, and sportsbooks growing so intertwined. But that doesn’t make moral crusaders the saviors of integrity.
The real vice
Take Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, who reportedly won $1.4 million playing blackjack in Las Vegas last year — less than 1% of his net worth. Critics didn’t call that a moral crisis.
The point is simple: People should be free to spend their discretionary income as they choose. Cheating is illegal. Addiction is tragic. But gambling itself isn’t a sin against the republic.
The latest pro sports scandal offers a moral lesson, but not the one the prohibitionists want to hear. Legalized betting didn’t corrupt sports — people did. And no law can outlaw greed.
Alleged shoplifter caught on video brutally beating 18-year-old supermarket employee who confronted him: ‘Senseless’
An alleged shoplifter in a North Carolina supermarket was caught on surveillance video brutally beating an employee who confronted him.
Detectives from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department are working to identify two individuals involved, WBTV-TV reported.
‘When we have self-checkouts, it just presents an opportunity for people who are not doing the right thing, thieves, to take items and commit crimes.’
Police told the station the physical attack took place Oct. 20 at the Food Lion in the 2200 block of Park Road in Charlotte.
Two people were in the self-checkout area of the supermarket attempting to steal items when an 18-year-old Food Lion employee confronted them, Detective Ashley Phillips told WBTV.
Surveillance video showed one of the alleged shoplifters speaking with the employee and then walking with the employee into a back room, the station said.
Another surveillance camera captured the attack in the back room. Video shows one of the suspects grabbing the employee in the neck and chest area and slamming the employee against a large container against a wall, punching the employee, and then appearing to stomp the employee on the floor.
Surveillance video then shows the two alleged shoplifters leaving the Food Lion with the stolen items following the beating, WBTV reported.
“It’s unfortunate. Any act of violence is senseless,” Phillips told the station. “When we have self-checkouts, it just presents an opportunity for people who are not doing the right thing, thieves, to take items and commit crimes.”
Phillips added to WBTV that employees who witness illegal activity in the workplace shouldn’t attempt to intervene.
“We want to suggest to everyone that is in a store working as an employee, just step back and observe, then collect as much information as you can and call 911 so that way police can respond, and you don’t have to interfere with someone committing a crime,” she noted to the station.
Phillips added to WBTV that she’s hopeful someone will recognize the alleged shoplifters through the surveillance videos and still images: “They’re very clear. I’m hoping that someone will see it and call it in. We get some good tips, and I’m very grateful for that.”
Those with information about the Food Lion incident are asked to call Crime Stoppers at 704-334-1600, the station said, adding that tipsters can remain anonymous and receive a cash reward if they have information that leads to an arrest. Community members can also submit tips about crimes through the P3 Tips app, WBTV noted.

‘Unfit for the gavel’: House GOPs sound off on Judge Boasberg, stand with senators in calling for impeachment
House Republicans are ramping up the pressure on activist judges in the wake of the bombshell findings about Operation Arctic Frost.
The revelations concluded that former President Joe Biden’s FBI targeted conservative groups, private citizens, and even sitting senators. One recurring name in a thread of surveillance scandals is James Boasberg, chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, who greenlit the subpoenas that targeted Republicans.
‘It is clear that Judge Boasberg has abused his judicial authority for weaponized political purposes.’
In light of his involvement, a growing number of House Republicans are standing with outraged senators in calling for his impeachment.
“It is clear that Judge Boasberg has abused his judicial authority for weaponized political purposes,” Republican Rep. Marlin Stutzman of Indiana told Blaze News. “His unconstitutional blocking of President Trump from making America great again and involvement in Arctic Frost are reason enough to remove him from the bench. Impeachment hearings should begin immediately.”

“A judge waging lawfare against elected senators of the United States and weaponizing their power for political gain should be impeached,” Republican Rep. Mark Harris of North Carolina told Blaze News. “Full stop.”
Republican Rep. Brandon Gill of Texas took matters into his own hands and introduced articles of impeachment against Boasberg to “hold him accountable for his attempt to undermine the will of the people.”
“Radical activist Judge James Boasberg continues to weaponize his judicial authority and target his political opponents,” Republican Rep. Brandon Gill of Texas told Blaze News. “Judge Boasberg facilitated the egregious Arctic Frost scandal where he equipped the Biden DOJ to spy on Republican senators. His lack of integrity makes him clearly unfit for the gavel.”
Republican Rep. Josh Brecheen of Oklahoma called Arctic Frost a “Watergate-level scandal,” saying the only way to restore faith in the legal system is to impeach activist judges like Boasberg.
“Under a directive from Special Counsel Jack Smith, the Biden DOJ spied on almost every major conservative group — including the Trump campaign and the RNC,” Brecheen told Blaze News. “This is a Watergate-level scandal for which accountability must be had. We must take all the steps available under law to pursue justice and restore the American people’s faith in our legal system. This starts with beginning the impeachment process for any corrupt judges involved in this scandal.”

Gill’s fellow Texan Republican Rep. August Pfluger also railed against Boasberg’s involvement in the surveillance effort, calling for an investigation. Pfluger likewise joined Brecheen to urge Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate Jack Smith and “every single Biden-era DOJ bureaucrat” who partook in this scandal.
“Jack Smith’s ‘Arctic Frost’ investigation into President Trump, Republican lawmakers, and conservative groups has turned out to be exactly what we expected: an unconstitutional political witch hunt,” Republican Rep. August Pfluger of Texas told Blaze News. “The weaponization of our nation’s top law enforcement agency to target political opponents is unacceptable, especially in the United States.”
“These individuals must be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law — and we will ensure this kind of blatant corruption never happens again.”
The House has the sole authority to introduce articles of impeachment for a judge, and just a simple majority is needed to pass them. Republicans hold a slim majority in the House, 219-213.
Editor’s Note: This article was update to include a statement from Republican Rep. Josh Brecheen.
