Reports: FBI Thwarted Alleged Drone Terror Attack Targeting White House UFC Freedom 250 Event

Simon Kent 16 Jun 2026

An alleged explosive drone terror attack destined for Sunday’s UFC Freedom 250 event on the White House South Lawn was thwarted by the FBI and five suspects are now custody, it was revealed Tuesday.

The White House has confirmed the foiled plan to Fox News which first broke the news.

The multi-phase attack allegedly involved using explosive-laden drone aircraft to strike buildings in the vicinity of the event, sparking mass panic and driving the fleeing crowd toward a sniper team poised to pick them off, officials told Fox News.

A “second wave” of attackers then allegedly planned to storm the White House gate, officials said. Fox News further detailed:

    The FBI first learned of the threat on June 10 and worked with partners to secure probable cause for an arrest in Cincinnati, where one suspect was taken into custody.

    Investigators later uncovered Signal chats in which multiple people allegedly discussed attacking the UFC event. An initial review of one suspect’s iPhone identified at least 23 Signal users discussing pre-operational activity, officials said.

    Some of those involved allegedly planned to travel to Fredericksburg, Virginia, on June 12 or 13 to prepare for the attack.

The report further reveals possible motives for the alleged terror assault, with one suspect allegedly told investigators the goal was to target “capitalist elites,” “billionaires” or politicians who received donations from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

The investigation stretched across at least 12 FBI field offices.

FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed the arrests in a statement obtained and released by Just the News.

“On June 10, FBI and our law enforcement partners became aware of a potential threat to the UFC America 250 event in Washington, D.C. involving individuals outside of the National Capital Region – and thanks to the rapid action of this FBI, our partners, and the Department of Justice in a multi-state operation, multiple individuals are now in custody and allegedly planned attacks were stopped cold,” Patel said.

“While the result represented the best of investigative work, it was also nothing out of the ordinary for this law enforcement team – we are built to detect, respond to, and bring to justice those who threaten the lives of American citizens – particularly during large gatherings like the historic UFC 250 fight,” he added.

More to come…

That was a wonderful event, I'm glad they took extra security measures....

Democrats once again proving they are enemies of the United States.

🚨 BREAKING: Organizer of the terror plot against President Trump at UFC Freedom 250 was aiming to OVERTHROW Trump based on "deep involvement with Jeffrey Epstein," per Fox

Democrats keep parroting this lie KNOWING it'll encourage crazies to KlLL Trump. It's EVIL.

Per FBI, "the organizer indicated he believes the US government is run by an elite group of individuals who sacrifice and consume infants who also were deeply involved with Jeffrey Epstein and now protected by President Trump."

Textbook Democrat BS.

Multiple suspects have been arrested so far, including Tycen Proper in Ohio, as well as Bryan Omar Roa and Michael Alan Thomas in California.

They've been charged with conspiracy to commit murder.

A 19-year-old's mother SOUNDED THE ALARM to help catch the plot. Wow.

They were exchanging plans and locations for the sniper staging in private chats

Multiple suspects have been arrested NATIONWIDE

"This alleged plot consisted of a plan to have drones that were armed with some type of firepower, go and attack buildings around the White House. Once people left, they would have snipers attacking people leaving. This was a serious plot. The FBI, Secret Service investigating this right now."

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

According to the federal complaint, one of the key alleged organizers is Michael Alan Thomas, a California man who told investigators he believes the U.S. government is controlled by elites who sacrifice and eat children. He claimed these elites had ties to Jeffrey Epstein and are being protected by President Trump. Thomas and others used encrypted Signal chats to plan the attack, sharing maps of the UFC event and suggesting sniper placement spots. Authorities recovered rifles and ammunition during the investigation.

Sounds like a bunch of nutsos.

Geez…our world has gone insane.

[Free Vulcan]

The brainwashed ideologues from our bastardized education system, the money, the tech, the ease in ability to organize via social media, the will of true believers to escalate - these guys are getting scary.

This is getting beyond street mobs and is at coordinated terrorist level actions which will require a firm and forceful hand to put it down if we don't want these Marxists turning things into a bloody revolution.

[Free Vulcan]

This is beyond a mob, beyond a terrorist attack - this is an attempt at a blood revolutionary overthrow and coup.

Not small potatoes actions.

I was concerned as well.  Using drones reminds me of the sci-fi movies years ago, who would have though that we'd be encountering drones .... also I'm predicting as in the other sci-fi movies indicated, we would be having to discern humans from robots and robots would be taking over.

I'm not liking all the advances in technology; it is starting to do more harm than good.

New York Post:

... In a private chat group, the suspects debated targeting Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Sen. Jim Justice (R-W.Va.), Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), as well as West Virginia GOP Reps. Carol Miller and Riley Moore. 

“I got a possible target, Marsha Blackburn is senator for Tennessee,” one said on May 13 in the chat, responding that she was a target because the Republican had “taken money from the Israel pro-Israel lobby and supports them.”

Proper — who denied he was planning to commit violence to investigators — also sent a May 31 message that stated, “these are the people we’re going to focus on,” followed by images of Justice, Capito, Miller, and Moore.

Each image was lifted from the website TrackAIPAC.com, which opposes the lobbying work of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and records how much money politicians receive from pro-Israel contributors. ...

It began before 9/11, and Columbine, but increased by several magnitude after. Several government groups were tasked with coming up with "The unthinkable scenario" to try and thwart this exact type of thing. I used to be acquainted with someone that worked with one of those groups. his groups main focus was making small changes to harden buildings and events to prevent tragedies.

White House UFC terror plot 'ringleader' is a Mexican illegal immigrant, DHS confirms

Abraham Alvarez is a DACA immigrant who allegedly used the name 'Shepherd' while organizing plans for White House attack
Robert Schmad By Robert Schmad , Katelyn Caralle Fox News

USSS calls alleged UFC terror plot ‘unique’ as new details emerge
FIRST ON FOX: Abraham Alvarez, identified in federal documents as the alleged "ringleader" of a plot to carry out a mass casualty event at the UFC White House event on June 14, is an illegal immigrant from Mexico who overstayed his visa, according to Homeland Security information first obtained by Fox News Digital.

Alvarez came to the United States as a child and was granted by the Obama administration in 2014 deportation relief through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program after he failed to leave the country when his B2 visa expired in 2001.

Five co-conspirators were arrested so far this month for allegedly planning with others to use drones equipped with explosives to force an evacuation from the White House event on Sunday and, in the ensuing chaos, a team of snipers was allegedly set to open fire on the crowds. Federal investigators claim Alvarez was responsible for planning, organizing, and directing the planned attack.


Court records ousted Alvarez as a foreign national considering he consented to a consular notification after his arrest this weekend, though the documents provided no information on his specific immigration status nor his country of origin.

Excerpt:

Federal authorities have now confirmed the identity and background of the ringleader behind the foiled terror plot that targeted the UFC Freedom 250 event on the White House South Lawn.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez, a Mexican national, was the key organizer of the alleged conspiracy. He and his co-conspirators planned to use explosive-laden drones to force a mass evacuation of the event, then direct the crowd toward sniper positions before launching a second wave to storm the White House gates.
Alvarez, who went by the alias “Shepherd” in encrypted group chats, allegedly directed the planning, including the use of “counter snipers and drones” and instructions to make the attack “as deadly as we can get.” The group discussed specific locations for drone launches and sniper positions in the National Capital Region.

Marlow: Illegal Alien Suspect in UFC Terror Plot Is One of ‘Obama’s Precious Dreamers’
 
Mariane Angela18 Jun 202689
 
Thursday on Real America’s Voice’s The Charlie Kirk Show, Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow said a Mexican national accused of plotting a terrorist attack at a UFC event was one of former President Barack Obama’s “precious Dreamers.”


Marlow said that a Mexican national accused of plotting a terrorist attack at a UFC event exposes failures in U.S. immigration enforcement and highlights what he described as the consequences of policies protecting so-called “Dreamers.”


“This guy, overstaying visas because we don’t police our visas — a Mexican national. We first thought — and I know you guys had a great show title on this — that this was a Luigi plot, that this was Luigi Mangione, someone who was just going to blow up the billionaires,” Marlow said. “Which, of course, should be frowned upon at a minimum. But also now Luigi — and I’m sure you guys caught this — his team is arguing that he’s psychotic, that he now has a psychiatric defense in his murder trial, even while people on the fringe left of our country still treat him as a hero.”


Reports now reveal that Mangione’s defense team retreated from the idea of pursuing a psychiatric defense as of Thursday night.

Marlow added that the case highlights what he sees as the consequences of lax immigration policies, arguing that birth tourism, chain migration, and protections for so-called Dreamers have contributed to broader problems facing the country.
