Multiple sources report FBI arrests that stopped ISIS-inspired attack plots, including the Butler, Pennsylvania case from mid-September 2026 that the post refers to. The claim is a generic restatement of that reporting and matches the post's headline, so the extraction is faithful.
This claim is in the show notes, the publisher's own words. It counts against the post, once.
What we found
Supports. FBI Director Kash Patel announced on X that FBI agents arrested Jonathan Hunter Kramer, 21, of Pennsylvania, after he was allegedly plotting an ISIS-inspired violent attack, labelling it a 'terror plot disrupted'.[4]
Supports. CBS Pittsburgh reports that federal officials said a Pennsylvania man planned an ISIS-inspired 'mass casualty attack' that an FBI investigation thwarted.[2]
Supports. NBC News, citing AP reporting, says the FBI thwarted a terror attack by a teen on the Mall of America after supplying him a rifle; NBC's coverage describes it as an ISIS-inspired plot, though the complaint cites interest in al-Shabab.[1][3]
Context. A separate FBI-disrupted ISIS-inspired plot against the New York State Capitol in Albany was announced in August 2026, showing a pattern of similar disruptions.[5]
Context. Some secondary sources, such as the Presidential Prayer Team post, repeat the Pennsylvania details without independent records, so they add little corroboration.[6]
