"We have (news) crews at the homes that were raided in Dearborn and Inkster. Those crews have seen the evidence response team from the FBI and other troopers from Michigan State Police on scene.
Agents have been going in and out of the homes, and have been seen coming out of the homes with suspected evidence from inside, as well as the garage of another home.
A neighbor told us that around 4:30 a.m., her husband heard loud bangs and saw a large police presence outside of the home.
Inkster police said the raid took place at a storage facility on Michigan Ave. and confirmed there is no threat to the public.
Sources told CNN that the plot was inspired by ISIS, and reported that an undercover with the FBI was introduced to the chatroom in the early stages of discussion.
According to CNN, agents became concerned that the attack may have been imminent after a reference to "Pumpkin day" came up in the chatroom.
"This morning, I was briefed by Director Patel on the thwarted potential terrorist attack in our state. As details continue to develop, I am grateful for the swift action of the FBI and MSP protecting Michiganders," Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said in a statement.
"We've been in consultation with the FBI in regard to this matter and while I can't speak publicly to the details of it, I can just say that I'm very, very grateful for the FBI's work in protecting the community and keeping people safe, and I'm sure we'll learn more about the details publicly later," Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said on Friday.
