Alleged White House Terror Plot Ringleader Identified as Illegal Alien Who Was Given De Facto Amnesty by Obama
The content discusses a plot involving an individual named Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, who allegedly led a terrorist scheme targeting the white House during the UFC Freedom 250 event on June 14. Alvarez initially entered the U.S. on a B2 visitor visa, which expired in 2001, and was later granted DACA status in 2014. He is accused of direct involvement in planning, organizing, and directing a planned attack that involved deploying explosive drones and snipers to cause mass casualties, with prosecutors describing him as the ringleader. Alvarez was arrested in Nebraska, where he owned property, after a FBI raid. Other suspects from various states were also detained. The Department of Homeland Security and FBI confirmed Alvarez’s responsibility, emphasizing that he should not have been in the country and highlighting concerns over previous immigration policies that allowed his stay. The case has garnered political criticism, with officials condemning the obama-Biden administration’s handling of immigration and its impact on national security.
The man who allegedly took charge of the plot to attack the White House during the June 14 UFC Freedom 250 event has been identified as an illegal immigrant.
The Department of Homeland Security said Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez of Nebraska had been allowed to stay in the country through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program during the administration of former President Barack Obama, according to a DHS news release.
“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,” acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said.
“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,” she said.

Alvarez entered America on a B2 visitor visa. The visa expired in December 2001, but Alvarez did not return to Mexico.
The Obama administration granted him DACA status in 2014, the release said.
“From his home here in Nebraska, Alvarez allegedly directed and recruited others across the country to conduct a horrific attack against government officials in a mass casualty event. Our team worked around the clock to locate and apprehend Alvarez, take him into custody, and collect crucial evidence,” Special Agent in Charge Eugene Kowel of the FBI Omaha field office said, according to WOWT-TV.
Alvarez was taken into custody after a raid at a former church in Western, Nebraska. Alvarez owned the property
The others arrested were Tycen C. Proper, 19, of Danville, Ohio; Bryan Omar Roa, 24, of Calimesa, California; Michael Alan Thomas, 32, of Pinon Hills, California; and Daniel K. Eskridge, 32, of Kidder, Missouri.
The suspect behind last weekend’s terror threat at the White House is an ILLEGAL ALIEN.
Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez should never have been in this country, but the Obama-Biden administration rolled out the red carpet for him to stay.

A Justice Department news release said that “the FBI identified Alvarez as the individual using the name ‘Shepherd’ in an encrypted chat app that was used to plan an attack on the UFC Freedom 250 event scheduled to be held at the White House on June 14.”
The release said the FBI believed Alvarez “was responsible for planning, organizing, and directing the planned attack.”
The FBI said that in discussing the attack, the suspect posted, ‘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.’”
The FBI said that the suspect “also allegedly posted other messages including replying to another member on making drones with explosives, ‘As many and as deadly as we can get;’ that he was working on drones; and had one drone and was working on more.”
The complaint against Alvarez said he called the church a “safe zone” for fellow plotters.
The Justice Department said that the attack plan called for deploying explosive drones to spark an evacuation, at which point snipers would pick off targets.
