Wasserman Schultz Statement on Thwarted Aventura Turnberry Jewish Center Attack

Washington, DC - U.S.  Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) issued the following statement today after the FBI arrested a suspect who had allegedly planned to attack the Aventura Turnberry Jewish Center:

"I am deeply grateful that the FBI arrested this individual before he was allegedly able to do harm to the Aventura Turnberry Jewish Center and its congregants, so many of whom are my constituents, who were observing the end of Passover. I will be in contact with federal and local authorities immediately and working with them to ensure our community's places of worship - no matter what faith - are safe for all those who worship in them. As the month of May begins and we recognize Jewish American Heritage Month, this attempted attack is a harsh reminder that there are many in our community who are motivated by bigotry and violence. As a community and a nation we must work together to confront this kind of hatred."
