Authorities Release Mugshots of Five Suspects in Alleged Plot Against White House Event

Authorities have released mugshots of five suspects accused of plotting an attack targeting President Donald Trump and other officials during the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House. The suspects were arrested as part of a multi-state operation where federal authorities uncovered a plan involving explosive-laden drones and sniper teams. U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro stated that her office is not involved in the case, which requires activity within the district to establish jurisdiction. One suspect, Tycen C. Proper, is accused of creating a target list of 46 individuals and spending approximately $3,000 on weapons and tactical gear. Another suspect, Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez, is identified as the alleged ringleader and is accused of using coded language in encrypted communications regarding intended targets. The group allegedly planned to launch drones above the event to create chaos and target officials as attendees evacuated. The criminal case is ongoing.
