Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez, a Mexican national protected under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, has been charged by US federal authorities as the alleged mastermind behind a foiled attack plot targeting the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House.

The plot was disrupted before the June 14 event.
