An FBI terrorism investigation netted six arrests in Minneapolis and San Diego on Sunday.
Information was murky early Monday, but a press conference later in the day is expected to shed light on the charges and allegations.
“There is no threat to public safety,” Ben Petok, spokesman for U.S. Attorney Andy Luger, told the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Among those arrested were members of Minneapolis’ sizable Somali population.
“The community is in a state of confusion,” Jamal said Sunday night. “They don’t know what is going on. … This is a very serious issue. We as a community are concerned about losing our kids to [ISIL].”
