👏🇺🇸 Thank you to the FBI and all of the federal, state, and local law enforcement and intelligence professionals who continue to work behind the scenes to keep Americans safe. These investigations often require months of painstaking intelligence work, coordination, surveillance, and evidence gathering, frequently without the public ever knowing what’s happening. When a potential act of terrorism is stopped before innocent people are hurt or killed, that’s exactly the outcome we want. Credit where credit is due: thank you to everyone involved in identifying this threat, investigating it, and taking action to protect the American public. Stay vigilant. Stay professional. And most importantly, keep protecting people. 🇺🇸👏
