Ron commented on the foiled Milwaukee terror attack saying it serves as a reminder to the reality of the threats that our country and our state face. 
Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson released a statement about the arrest, saying “”I applaud the diligent work of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Joint Terrorism Task Force that prevented what officers describe as a planned mass attack on innocent people in Milwaukee. This incident reminds us of the importance of staying alert and reporting suspicious behavior to law enforcement authorities. It also reminds us of the reality that individuals motivated by radical beliefs pose a real threat to the security of Americans wherever they may reside — even here in Wisconsin.”
