Five individuals are in custody following an alleged threat against a UFC event attended by President Trump. FBI Director Kash Patel reported on June 16 that federal officials became aware of a potential threat from individuals outside Washington, D.C., on June 10. An affidavit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio indicated that 19-year-old Tycen Proper confessed to planning a coordinated attack during the event. The group allegedly intended to travel to Fredericksburg, Virginia, and use explosive-laden drones to create chaos at the venue. Proper reportedly identified several political figures as potential targets and expressed intentions to incite a revolution. The Secret Service collaborated with the FBI throughout the investigation, which has heightened security measures for upcoming events, including a Fourth of July celebration.
