FBI Disrupts Alleged Plot Targeting White House UFC Event, Multiple Arrests Made
The FBI and law enforcement agencies disrupted an alleged plot targeting the UFC Freedom 250 event held at the White House on June 14, 2026, attended by President Donald Trump. The investigation, initiated on June 10, led to the arrest of at least five suspects across multiple states and identified a network of 23 individuals. Authorities said the plot involved using explosive-laden drones to strike buildings near the event, causing panic to direct crowds toward a sniper team, with a second phase aiming to storm the White House gates. Details remain limited pending formal charges.
