FBI claims to have foiled planned attack on White House cage fight event

Federal authorities have arrested five individuals across multiple states, including Ohio, Missouri, and California, in connection with a foiled plot to attack a UFC cage fighting event held at the White House on Sunday. The alleged plan, according to a federal criminal complaint, involved using explosive-laden drones to detonate over the event and then firing on the evacuating crowd with guns. One arrested suspect, Tycen Proper, reportedly told authorities the attack was intended to "jumpstart" a revolution in the United States, with some members of the online group expressing discontent with the direction of the country and individuals associated with Jeffrey Epstein. The FBI stated that their rapid action disrupted the planned violence. The Secret Service acknowledged their role in identifying and holding accountable those responsible.

A subsequent phase of the plot reportedly included plans for attackers to storm the White House gate. Patel stated that the FBI is designed to detect, respond to, and bring to justice those who threaten American citizens, particularly during large gatherings.
