New details revealed about alleged UFC terrorist plot targeting the White House
Fresh information has come to light regarding an alleged terrorist scheme aimed at a UFC event located near the White House. Authorities have taken five individuals into custody across four different states, all facing accusations of planning drone attacks equipped with explosives and setting up sniper ambushes. Items confiscated during the investigation included firearms, ammunition, tactical gear, and cell phone images of possible targets.
Mugshots of the suspects were published, one notably showing a suspect with a broad smile. These men are accused of plotting what prosecutors described as a “mass casualty incident” intended to strike President Donald Trump and other high-ranking officials during the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House.
This month, the arrests were made during a coordinated operation after federal investigations unveiled an alleged plot involving an explosive-laden drone, a sniper unit, and a hideout to facilitate the attack during the planned event.
Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, mentioned that her office is not involved in the case, despite the targeting of White House events being a central aspect. “We don’t have any part of the case,” she emphasized.
5 Chilling Details of White House Attack Plot Associated with UFC Event
The investigation identified Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez, 31, from Omaha, Nebraska, as the suspected mastermind behind the conspiracy. Prosecutors claim he coordinated plans to attack during the UFC Freedom 250 event.
Asked if her office would eventually take the case due to its connection to Washington, Pirro suggested that there must be tangible action in the district to establish jurisdiction, noting, “There has to be some actual activity in order to file a lawsuit.”
Among the arrested individuals, Theisen C. Proper, 19, from Ohio, is alleged to have created a target list comprising 46 names and spent approximately $3,000 in graduation funds on weapons and tactical gear. Investigators reportedly found documents related to extremist views and planning efforts for the conspiracy.
Brian Omar Rohr, 24, from California, is also implicated in the scheme. Prosecutors allege he participated in encrypted communications where group members discussed operational strategies.
Michael Alan Thomas, 32, from California, allegedly engaged in talks about potential escape plans if they were caught. “If necessary, we will try to get them out of jail,” court documents quote him as saying.
Daniel K. Eskridge, 32, of Kidder, Missouri, reportedly offered his rural property to serve as a hideout and spoke about plans to build a concealed bunker. He also took part in discussions regarding the procurement of explosives.
Alvarez, identified as the group’s leader, is said to have discussed potential targets—including Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and others—in encrypted chats. The plan allegedly involved launching a drone packed with explosives during the UFC event, targeting officials as the crowd evacuated.
Interestingly, sources indicate there are plans to acquire military-grade weapons as the group evaluated their ability to create explosives. They even considered the Kansas Army Ammunition Plant as a potential target for their plans.
The criminal case remains ongoing.
