A Mexican illegal alien is the alleged ringleader of the plot to attack the White House UFC event.
The documents obtained by the outlet said Abraham Alvarez entered the U.S. as a child. The Obama administration gave him deportation relief in 2014 through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program since he didn’t “leave the country when his B2 visa expired in 2001.”
From The New York Post:
The plotters allegedly wanted to attack the UFC Freedom 250 event with explosive-laden drones and then pick off fleeing members of the crowd with a team of snipers.Authorities told the outlet Alvarez was responsible for planning, organizing and directing the coordinated attack, which was thwarted by the FBI and local authorities.“This illegal alien from Mexico should never have been allowed in our country,” DHS Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “He was the ringleader of a failed terror attack targeting UFC Freedom 250 at the White House.”“He will face justice and swiftly be removed from our country,” she added of Alvarez.
The court documents claim Alvarez, who used the moniker Shepherd, directed “staging locations, sniper and drone positions, escape routes and communications protocols.”
The suspects allegedly plotted a second wave involving storming the White House.
Investigators identified 23 people within those chats. However, the FBI arrested Alvarez and four others in connection with the thwarted plot:
Proper’s mom called the police four days before the fight over concerns of his “online activity and recent firearms purchases.”
That phone call helped stop the plot. From Fox News:
According to a criminal complaint, Proper allegedly spent $3,000 of his “graduation money” to purchase “lots of” ammunition, guns, extra magazines and other items for the alleged attack.Authorities estimated that several boxes of ammunition that Proper had allegedly acquired contained thousands of rounds. It is also alleged that Proper acquired an AR-style rifle, a bullpup rifle painted with the American flag and two plate carriers with AR-style magazines. His family voluntarily turned over the equipment to law enforcement.His father told officers that Proper had quit his job to meet up with people he had met online to conduct “missions” and “recons,” according to the complaint. It said that Proper’s mother had first alerted authorities over concerns about his recent alleged firearm purchases and communications with individuals online.
The DOJ said the encrypted chats between the suspects showed them allegedly discussing “assassinating several U.S. Senators, Representatives, and prominent business executives” because they believed they “accepted money from pro-Israel lobbies.”
