UMVA has learned that a stunning plot to unleash a mass casualty event at a high-profile UFC gathering at the White House on June 14 was foiled by federal authorities, and the alleged ringleader behind the sinister scheme has been identified as Abraham Alvarez, an illegal immigrant from Mexico who overstayed his visa.
Alvarez, who came to the United States as a child, was granted deportation relief through a program aimed at protecting young immigrants, but his status remained precarious. Federal documents reveal that he was the mastermind behind the plot, which involved using drones equipped with explosives to force an evacuation and create chaos, allowing a team of snipers to open fire on the crowds.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Alvarez and five co-conspirators were allegedly planning to spark a revolution in the U.S. by targeting the UFC Freedom 250 event, citing grievances such as government corruption and the influence of foreign powers. The plot was allegedly uncovered after Alvarez used an alias, "Shepherd," in a group chat dedicated to planning the attack.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that Alvarez was arrested by the FBI on the day of the fight in Omaha, Nebraska, and a detainer was lodged by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) following the arrest. The alleged plotter faces a maximum penalty of life in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted of conspiracy to commit murder.
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that 23 individuals were part of the alleged terror planning network, but only five arrests have been made in connection with the plot. The White House and FBI have declined to comment on the whereabouts of the other individuals involved in the group chat.
The plot was allegedly thwarted by swift action from law enforcement, with the Acting Attorney General praising the FBI and U.S. Attorneys for disrupting and dismantling the alleged plan before it could be carried out. The incident highlights the persistent threat environment surrounding high-profile events and public figures.
UMVA has gathered that the plot was relatively undeveloped when it was caught, and none of the suspects were in town during the event. The alleged plot to attack the White House event has raised concerns about security threats and the vulnerability of public figures.
The foiled plot is part of a larger pattern of security threats against high-profile individuals, including President Donald Trump, who has faced multiple threats since an attempted assassination during a campaign rally. The incident underscores the need for vigilance and swift action by law enforcement to prevent such attacks.
