Fanatical TikTokkers armed with assault rifles plotted to attack the UFC Freedom 250 at the White House South Lawn Sunday night — after revving each other up over Jeffrey Epstein, billionaires, Israel and a hatred of President Trump, according to court papers and sources who spoke with The Post. The multi-phase plot called for explosive drones to strike the South Lawn during the event, forcing attendees to flee outside the White House, where a sniper team could pick them off, officials and prosecutors said. The FBI foiled the zealots’ plans by infiltrating Signal chat groups where they were planning “a coordinated attack” to kill President Trump and other government officials, according to federal criminal complaints and affidavits unsealed Tuesday. At least five suspects were arrested last week, and up to 10 others are wanted in connection with the plot, law enforcement sources said. The suspects face up to life in prison for the murder charges and up to five years for conspiring to commit an act of violence at the White House. The “ultra-religious” guerrillas espoused “anti-government” or anti-Israel views and had initially started plotting in a TikTok group called “Vanguard of the Old” in March 2026 before moving conversations to a private Signal group called “Hunters.” The quintet was charged in at least four states — California, Ohio, Missouri, and Nebraska — with conspiring to murder members of the government and others after the parent of one alerted local police. President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, tech billionaire Elon Musk and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were all named as potential targets, in addition to members of Congress and a West Virginia state lawmaker, according to court docs. “As many and as deadly as we can get,” said suspected ringleader Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez in one of the messages

Federal officials have charged multiple people who they claim discussed plots to attack the UFC fight night event at the White House, including by using drones and a gunman. A team including the Secret Service and FBI uncovered messages discussing the plot between multiple individuals, according to criminal complaints against five people unsealed Tuesday. According to a criminal complaint against one of the alleged plotters, the mother of one of the defendants — 19-year-old Tycen Proper — called local police on June 10, saying she was “was concerned about her son” because of his recent conduct, which included buying guns and communicating with a group of radicals online. Proper’s mother had also seen her son researching mapping locations in Washington, DC, near the White House, according to the complaint, and told officers that her son had said the group was looking at multiple locations for “recon” and “hit and run missions.” According to court documents, the group Proper joined was focused on some form of accelerationism — an ideology that believes the collapse of society should be expedited in order to form a better world. (…) Law enforcement later searched Proper’s home and found a chat with detailed imagery of DC, which highlighted sniper locations and “potential drone launch locations, and other detailed tactical planning.” Proper’s father, meanwhile, told officers his son had been planning to leave to meet up with the individuals over the weekend of the UFC fight and had also recently amassed “gear, food, ballistic plates, a new shotgun, a rifle, ‘lots’ of ammunition, extra magazines, and plate carriers” with his recent graduation money, the complaint against Proper states. The firearms included an AR-15 style rifle and a bullpup rifle – which houses certain mechanisms like the magazine behind the gun’s trigger – painted with an American flag.
