DHS: Illegal Alien Was Alleged ‘Ringleader’ of Failed Terror Plot Targeting White House UFC Event

Federal officials said an illegal alien was the alleged “ringleader” of a drone attack plot against the UFC event at the White House on Sunday.

Thirty-one-year-old Abraham Alvarez of Mexico was one of five alleged coconspirators accused of plotting to murder President Donald Trump, government officials, and event attendees, the New York Post reported Thursday.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) detailed the illegal’s background in a social media post on Friday, stating he was arrested on Sunday:

“The alleged RINGLEADER of the failed terror attack targeting UFC Freedom 250 is an ILLEGAL ALIEN. Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez, from Mexico, planned, organized, and directed the planned attack,” the agency said.

“He was arrested by the @FBI on June 14, and @ICEgov has lodged a detainer against him. Alvarez FAILED to leave the country when his B2 tourist visa expired in 2001. He was granted DACA by the Obama administration. This illegal alien should NEVER have been allowed in our country — and we will ensure he faces justice and is swiftly removed from our nation,” DHS continued:
