It’s now being revealed that the alleged terror plot, targeting the White House UFC fight on Sunday, was orchestrated by a Mexican illegal alien who remained in the country under Obama’s controversial Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. 

As The Gateway Pundit reported, the alleged ringleader of the plot, Abraham Alvarez of Omaha, Nebraska, was revealed in court documents to be a noncitizen. However, his country of origin and immigration status were unclear at the time.

“The conspirators allegedly planned to deploy drones armed with explosives in and around the UFC Freedom 250 event in order to force an evacuation of the event and then planned to deploy snipers to fire upon ‘high value targets’ within the fleeing crowd,” the DOJ said.

Alvarez, who went by the name “Shepherd” in an encrypted messaging app, was allegedly “responsible for planning, organizing, and directing the planned attack, based on conversation excerpts in June,” according to the FBI and Department of Justice.

“This is the best action I see. Position your teams in the purple dots (counter sniper and drones) Long range (circled area) (great shot) Easy out into the river,” Alvarez allegedly posted in the group chat used by conspirators. Alvarez also discussed making explosive drones, directing another to build “As many and as deadly as we can get,” according to the criminal complaint.

He further provided directions to the other conspirators to a church in Nebraska to be used as a safe zone, a “pick up location,” and locations in the White House area to be used as drone launch points and sniper positions, the complaint alleges.

He is one of five arrested earlier this month in connection with the plot.

The Department of Homeland Security confirmed on Thursday that Alvarez is an illegal alien from Mexico, and he’s been in the country illegally for more than 20 years.

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. 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 reveals DACA recipient led failed terror plot targeting White House UFC event in 2026.

Beege wrote a great post about the terror plot that would have resulted in a mass casualty event at the White House UFC event on Sunday. 

A lot of you read that post, so I will go light on the details. The Bottom Line Up Front is that a group of radicals who wanted to inspire a revolution made elaborate and scary plans to execute a drone and sniper attack to take out Republicans, including President Trump, Vice President Vance, top Republicans, and Israel-aligned leaders on Sunday. They had the plans to make it happen, to escape, and a theory for why their attack would inspire an uprising. 

The basics of the plot are pretty easy to understand, even if the eventual success of achieving the ultimate goal of inspiring a revolution seems nutty.

…According to court records, Proper said the group would meet up in Fredericksburg, Va., and use drones during a demonstration to blow up the north side of the UFC arena built outside the White House, then shoot the crowd as they evacuated to the south. The snipers would focus on high-value targets, like wealthy people and politicians, in order to jumpstart a revolution, the documents state, listing top targets as President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Tesla/SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, and multiple members of Congress. Messages in the e-communications identified Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Jim Justice (R-W. Va.), Shelley Moore Capito (R-W. Va.), and Reps. Carol Miller (R-W. Va.) and Riley Moore (R-W. Va.), as potential targets as they were recipients of AIPAC funds.

While Thomas told authorities he planned the UFC Freedom 250, according to court records, Alvarez allegedly posted a large portion of the planning information and provided direction to the other members in the chat group. There were also discussions on locations for snipers and drones, including where to fall back after the attack, noting that the Thomas Jefferson memorial offered the “cleanest route to exfiltrate from the area” and that some in the group would exit the area along the Potomac River.

Records show and had taken part in conversations about possible targets and a “trigger event,” encouraging the group to focus on “someone that can’t be easily turned into a right vs left thing we want someone both sides would celebrate… someone both sides would cheer and support us for taking out.” Eskridge also told authorities that he thought half the military and potentially about 3% of the population would join their cause.

There was also talk of a “second wave” of the plot involving power grids. Investigators said Alvarez noted in messages that “several actions and militia have been notified. They will be the teeth and the Shepherds,” records state. In a message on June 12, Alvarez said the fallback location would be an old church in Nebraska, and included a Google Streetview photo of the building, documents show.

I sincerely doubt the latter would happen, since they believed that a substantial portion of the military would side with the revolution, but commies gonna be commies.

As Beege pointed out, what we knew last night was that the ringleader was a “noncitizen.” Today, the Department of Homeland Security expanded on that description, telling us that the man—Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez—was granted DACA status in 2014 by the Obama administration. He had been living in the country illegally after overstaying his visitor visa

This is a developing story.
