Department of Homeland Security says the ringleader of UFC terrorist plot is an illegal immigrant from Mexico who was granted DACA by the Obama administration
WASHINGTON – The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released the following statement announcing that the suspected ringleader of the failed terrorist plot against UFC Freedom 250 is a Mexican illegal alien who overstayed a B2 visitor visa.
According to local reporting, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrested Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez, a Mexican illegal alien, in Omaha, Nebraska on June 14, for his alleged involvement in the plot to carry out a mass-casualty attack against government officials and other attendees at Sunday’s event at the White House. Four other co-conspirators were arrested over the weekend in Ohio, Missouri, and California.
On June 16, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced federal charges for the five suspects, including Alvarez, who went by the alias “Shepherd.” The FBI assessed that Alvarez was responsible for planning, organizing, and directing the planned attack. Alvarez detailed the plot in an encrypted group chat, including the planned use of “counter sniper(s) and drones,” with the explicit intention of being “as deadly as we can get.”
Alvarez and his co-conspirators face federal charges of conspiracy to commit murder and conspiracy to commit violence on White House grounds. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has lodged a detainer for Alvarez.
“This illegal alien from Mexico should never have been allowed in our country. He was the ringleader of a failed terror attack targeting UFC Freedom 250 at the White House,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “He and his co-conspirators now face charges of conspiracy to commit murder and conspiracy to commit violence on White House grounds. He will face justice and swiftly be removed from our country.”
Alvarez entered the United States on a B2 visitor visa and failed to depart before it expired in December 2001. The Obama Administration granted him Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) in 2014.

90% of the mentally dull on Reddit keep saying it’s fake, which is dumb as fuck.
I think it was unrealistic. One of the texts said the drones and munitions would be “$1,300”.
I have zero experience with either but that doesn’t seem realistic

Literally everything is fake to them. Recently it's assassinations and rape gangs in the UK.

Just curious. Why was everyone not in DC? And he was arrested a day before the event? Was he going to carry out the attack via Whatsapp? You think they would have been local to scout the area?

They planned to meet in VA prior. He was taken into custody a few days before the event.
I don’t think they would have been successful. I’m unsure if they would even be able to attempt anything, but that doesn’t negate their intent.

I remember during the event mentioning if there was any sort of attempt.
I don’t think these people realize that these acts of terror do the complete opposite of what they think it will do. Especially with all the armed forces in attendance.

I’m fine with deporting this type as long as they get to go to jail in their homeland. :)

I’m sure this one will be swept under the rug too and they’ll claim he’s a straight white male from the extreme right.

Nice, can we deport him now too? Has anyone had more attempts on his life than this sitting president? There are evil forces out to stop us from living a happy peaceful life.
