Eight men have been indicted on federal charges including conspiracy to commit murder and conspiracy to commit an act of terrorism for allegedly planning a drone attack on President Trump's White House UFC event, according to the indictment. The charges include providing material support to terrorism.
Federal prosecutors have filed an indictment charging eight men with conspiracy to commit murder, conspiracy to commit an act of terrorism, and providing material support to terrorism in connection with the foiled plot to attack President Trump's White House UFC Freedom 250 event using drones. The indictment deepens the known scope of the conspiracy: earlier this week, the FBI had disclosed a multi-stage plot involving explosive drones and sniper fire, and revealed additional suspects and a recruitment process via TikTok. The new charges name eight defendants facing the most serious terrorism counts in the case. The FBI previously thwarted the attack on June 14, arresting Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez as the alleged ringleader, along with other suspects in multiple states. The indictment's specific allegations and the identities of the eight men are still emerging. The case, which The Zioneer has been tracking since the FBI's initial disclosure on June 17, underscores the evolving threat landscape surrounding major public events.
