 This is what we know at this hour: an alleged¹ ISIS supporter is under arrest in New York allegedly ,after he attacked an FBI agent with a knife. Now, terrorism investigators² were doing a search of a home in Staten Island earlier today and that's when allegedly this man tried to attack an agent. Now, there were no serious injuries in this incident, but it is related to another arrest that occurred on Saturday. 

 

If you recall yesterday the FBI announced that they had arrested a suspect who was planning to build bombs and detonate bombs in the New York metropolitan³ area. And that suspect was arrested after he and someone else that he was with, tried to attack agents who were following them. So that's what we know at this hour. We know that the suspect arrested today is due in court anytime. 

 

Okay, so we have the news today with this man in Staten Island that, as you point out, is connected to the man from Queens. Then you also have recently the new nugget coming out about what had happened while back in Garland, Texas, and how one of those individuals apparently⁴ had a plan to target a Super Bowl. I feel like we're hearing about this arrests, Evan, more and more so recently. Is that because, you know, that the feds are really digging down on this or are there more instances? 

 

Well, it's all of the above, actually. It's all, everything that you just said is exactly what is driving this. This is certainly, according to law enforcement officials, summer in which they have seeing increased activity, increased threats, and that means they have increased the aggressive tactics that they're using. They're doing more 24/7 monitoring of these suspects, Brooke. They are, they're following them more closely. And, frankly⁵, that's what's causing some of these suspects to turn and try to attack law enforcements. That's what we saw in Boston recently...

 

Right.

 

And right, that's what we saw this weekend in New York, Brooke.
