Details on Alleged UFC Terror Plot Near White House

New information has surfaced regarding a planned terror attack targeting a UFC event close to the White House. Authorities apprehended five individuals across four states for plotting to use explosive drones, sniper attacks, and other means. They confiscated weapons, ammunition, tactical gear, and phone screenshots of intended targets.

Mugshots of all suspects, including one smiling individual, have been released. Prosecutors described the plan as a ‘mass casualty event’ aimed at disrupting the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House and targeting former President Donald Trump and other notable figures.

Federal officials carried out a multi-state operation to arrest the suspects, revealing a coordinated plan involving explosive drones, sniper teams, and safe houses to support the attack during the event.

Details of the Alleged Attack

Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez, 31, from Omaha, Nebraska, has been identified as the supposed leader. Prosecutors allege the group’s communication involved encrypted messages and coded terms for their targets, including Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Elon Musk.

The plot purportedly included launching explosive drones above the event and then attacking officials and security personnel as they evacuated. Authorities believe drones were meant to detonate over the crowd, driving attendees and key targets toward a pre-planned southern evacuation route where snipers lay in wait.

Tycen Proper, 19, from Ohio, allegedly compiled a list of 46 targets and spent approximately $3,000 on weapons and gear. He is also said to have penned writings detailing extremist ideologies and plans.

Bryan Omar Roa, 24, from California, is accused of participating in encrypted group chats related to the operation. He faces conspiracy to commit murder charges.

Michael Alan Thomas, 32, from California, discussed backup plans should members of the group be arrested. Allegedly, Thomas talked about breaking out associates from jail if required.

Daniel K. Eskridge, 32, from Kidder, Missouri, reportedly offered his rural property for use as a safe house and discussed creating a hidden bunker. Prosecutors say he also took part in conversations about acquiring explosives.

Federal documents indicate group discussions about obtaining military ordnance as they lacked knowledge to produce explosives. They explored targeting the Kansas Army Ammunition Plant in Parsons, Kansas.
