Based on the preview released for "Homeland" season 6, the incoming president Elizabeth Keane (Elizabeth Marvel) will have a lot on her plate. Meanwhile, Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) moved to Brooklyn, New York after she successfully stopped a terrorist attack in Berlin. Mathison is working with an organization that helps Muslims harassed by the government since they are suspected to be in cahoots with terrorist groups. Convincing the government agencies to allow Muslims their freedom seems to be a challenging task for Mathison.
