REVEALED: UFC Freedom 250 Terror Plot Ringleader is a Noncitizen – Feds Reveal More Details of Alleged Plot to \'Attack & Kill Government Officials\' at White House Event (VIDEO)

New details have come to light about the alleged terror plot that was intended to target the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House on Sunday, including the identity of the ringleader, a foreign national named Abraham Alvarez of Omaha, Nebraska.

The Department of Justice announced in a press release on Sunday, "According to the charges, Tycen C. Proper, 19, of Danville, Ohio; Bryan Omar Roa, 24, of Calimesa, California; Michael Alan Thomas, 32, of Pinon Hills, California; Daniel K. Eskridge, 32, of Kidder, Missouri; and Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez, 31, of Omaha, Nebraska, conspired to plan and execute a mass casualty event targeting U.S. officials in attendance at UFC Freedom 250 hosted on the White House grounds."

"The conspirators allegedly planned to deploy drones armed with explosives in and around the UFC Freedom 250 event in order to force an evacuation of the event and then planned to deploy snipers to fire upon 'high value targets' within the fleeing crowd," the press release continues.

Alvarez, who went by the name "Shepherd" in an encrypted messaging app, was allegedly "responsible for planning, organizing, and directing the planned attack, based on conversation excerpts in June," according to the FBI and Department of Justice.

“This is the best action I see. Position your teams in the purple dots (counter sniper and drones) Long range (circled area) (great shot) Easy out into the river,” Alvarez allegedly posted in the group chat used by conspirators. Alvarez also discussed making explosive drones, directing another to build “As many and as deadly as we can get,” according to the criminal complaint.

He further provided directions to the other conspirators to a church in Nebraska to be used as a safe zone, a "pick up location," and locations in the White House area to be used as drone launch points and sniper positions, the complaint alleges.

According to Nebraska Public Media, Alvarez consented to a consular notification during his initial court appearance on Tuesday. While his immigration status and country of origin remain unclear, a consular notification is required when foreign nationals are arrested to notify the embassy or consulate of the suspect's home country.

Alvarez will appear in court again on June 24 for a preliminary hearing.

The FBI started its investigation based on a tip from 19-year-old Tycen Proper's mother after she told law enforcement she was concerned "due to his recent conduct, including firearms purchases and communicating with certain individuals online," according to an FBI agent's affidavit. Tycen Proper went on to admit, during an interview on June 11, "to planning with others a coordinated attack against the United States government during the UFC event scheduled to take place on the White House lawn in Washington, D.C., on Sunday, June 14, 2026," according to the affidavit.

A search of Proper's home discovered "a large quantity of boxes of spent ammunition, rounds of spent cartridge casings (consistent with ammunition having been fired), and other tactical clothing." A search of Proper's iPhone uncovered "chats on Signal group chats that laid out detailed plans to conduct an attack in Washington, D.C. with several unidentified confederates." The affidavit further notes, "Detailed imagery of the National Capitol Region and maps of the area were shared to a group of which PROPER was a member, highlighting sniper locations, potential drone launch locations, and other detailed tactical planning."

of Omaha, Nebraska.

You cannot hate the press enough. Gateway Pundit of course maintains is reputation for excess or irrelevant verbiage, tone deafness and utter dereliction of the standards of good editorial practice.

The FBI is doing it’s job. That’s encouraging That said, what country is the ringleader from? And who was paying him? George Soros? Brain-dead Elites? Iran? Cartels?

FISA renewal failed in Congress, so it’s time for the FIB to orchestrate a few “terrorist” busts like they did with the Gretchen Whitmer “kidnapping” plot.

This looks bad for the FBI……..they didn’t have a clue until they got the tip. These things should be red flagged immediately.

If the FBI investigated every nutcase in the country they would have to add a few thousand new agents.

Democrats are working at grooming a whole lot of new killers using the hatred from TDS to gin up their crazies.

And the press?

They’re still going after white middle class, middle-aged married men. (the group that commits the fewest crimes in the country) - the group the liars at the SLPC were paid to set up.

I see the word Orthobiologics listed on his linkedin but have no idea what that is.

With our new and improved FBI under Trump, I would not be surprised if there was a REAL informant (as opposed to an SPLC “informant” who is REALLY an AGITATOR) embedded in this group and the FBI probably WAITED until June 10th to ensure they captured all involved.

I wonder how many in the chat were leos, and just what kind of input they contributed.

BRAVE AI:

Orthobiologics are biological substances derived from natural sources—such as blood, bone marrow, or adipose (fat) tissue—used to enhance tissue healing and regeneration in the musculoskeletal system. Also known as regenerative orthopedics, this field leverages the body’s innate healing mechanisms to treat acute injuries and chronic degenerative conditions, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional surgery.

These therapies work by delivering growth factors, cells, and proteins directly to damaged areas to reduce inflammation, stimulate cellular repair, and improve tissue function. Common applications include treating osteoarthritis, tendon and ligament injuries, cartilage defects, and bone fractures.

One cannot help but wonder how many FBI agents were involved in the plot. ;-)
