UMVA has learned that a stunning plot to unleash a "mass casualty event" targeting President Donald Trump and other high-profile officials was foiled by federal authorities, just as the UFC Freedom 250 event was about to take place at the White House.
The alleged masterminds behind this sinister plot have been identified, and their mugshots have been made public, revealing a chilling glimpse into the minds of those who sought to wreak havoc on the nation's capital. Among them is a suspect who couldn't help but flash a smile for his booking photo.
According to information obtained by UMVA, five suspects were rounded up in a multi-state operation, accused of hatching a coordinated attack plan that involved explosive-laden drones, sniper teams, and safe houses. The alleged plot was designed to create chaos and destruction during the high-profile event.
One of the suspects, Tycen C. Proper, 19, of Ohio, is accused of compiling a hit list containing 46 individuals and blowing through $3,000 in graduation money on weapons, ammunition, and tactical gear. Prosecutors claim that investigators found writings that outlined extremist beliefs and planning materials related to the plot.
Bryan Omar Roa, 24, of California, was allegedly part of the group that used encrypted group communications to discuss the operation. Another suspect, Michael Alan Thomas, 32, of California, allegedly talked about contingency plans if members of the group were arrested, even suggesting that they try to break co-conspirators out of jail if necessary.
Daniel K. Eskridge, 32, of Kidder, Missouri, allegedly offered his rural property as a safe house and discussed building a hidden bunker. Investigators also claim that he participated in conversations about acquiring explosive materials.
The alleged ringleader of the group, Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez, 31, of Omaha, Nebraska, was seen smiling in his mugshot. Prosecutors say that Alvarez used coded references in encrypted chats when discussing intended targets, including Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Elon Musk.
The group allegedly planned to launch explosive-laden drones above the White House UFC event, then target officials and security personnel as attendees evacuated the area. Federal authorities claim that the attack plan called for drones to detonate above the crowd, forcing attendees and designated "high-value targets" toward a southern evacuation point where sniper teams would be positioned.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that the suspects discussed obtaining military ordnance, even proposing to target the Kansas Army Ammunition Plant in Parsons, Kansas. The criminal case remains pending, with authorities working to ensure that justice is served.
