The FBI's so-called Halloween terror plot arrest reeks of entrapment tactics that have become standard practice in Michigan. This year-long operation involved at least three FBI agents manipulating wannabe terrorists rather than catching real threats. The language used to describe this manufactured crisis amounts to psychological warfare against Americans, designed to make people believe the FBI saved Halloween when no genuine threat existed.

This latest Halloween attack plot, along with past cases in the area, reveals how extremists use local networks and online chatrooms to plan violence. These incidents underscore the ongoing threat such communities can harbor and the need for focused vigilance to protect Americans.

The FBI’s “Halloween terror plot” in Dearborn was a manufactured entrapment operation designed to create headlines rather than stop a real threat. Ammar Abdulmajid-Mohamed Said and other young wannabes were guided and monitored by multiple undercover agents for over a year, with no shots fired or danger to the public. The operation was timed and framed under Director Patel to boost optics and distract from real ISIS cells while presenting a media spectacle.
