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."

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 can help them out. The poster Manuel OKelley on here needs to be investigated. In the long term, you will realize I was correct about that.

Not involved, but likely embedded. Someone was watching Signal.

Juat curious- what do you think the FBI should have known, and how should they have known it?

Who gave Alvarez his orders?

Sure seems like at least one of these guys should be interred @ Guantanamo for a time.

Only a matter of time before one of these a$$holes is successful.

Thank God for mom!

Smells like cartel. Where'd they get the explosives?
Where'd they get training on creating explosive drones?

The FBI needs to replace a few thousand agents now. The Obama and Biden holdovers are reaching mandatory retirement ages and the sooner they are gone, the better.

It does appear that insubordination and passive resistance to executive direction is lessening within the FBI. The worst obstructors have been shuffled off to make-work projects or persuaded to resign. A few have even been fired.

The remaining staff appear to be working actual law enforcement projects with better focus and intensity.

Which is a good thing. This latest planned attack on the UFC event was not a "lone wolf" amateur recruited from random internet forums. It looks too much like a professionally sponsored project with a reasonably competent team of volunteers.

We will need a competent security force to deal with this kind of escalation of capabilities from would-be assassination teams.

Federal authorities and unsealed Department of Justice court complaints have not yet publicly disclosed Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez’s specific country of origin or exact immigration status.

The FBI is doing it’s job.

The FIB is manufacturing fairy tales to push for FISA reauthorization. This was so predictable. Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping hoax deja vu all over again.

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

The fact that the 70 IQ mommy's basement-dweller was the only one arrested answers that question.
