  Announcing the arrest of five suspects in the foiled plot to attack the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House on Sunday, the U.S. Department of Justice said Tuesday that an Omaha man taken into custody was the mastermind behind the whole conspiracy.

  Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez, 31, of Omaha was arrested Sunday in a raid on an old church in the small town of Western, Neb. According to federal court records filed Tuesday, Alvarez is not a U.S. citizen.

  “From his home here in Nebraska, Alvarez allegedly directed and recruited others across the country to conduct a horrific attack against government officials in a mass casualty event. Our team worked around the clock to locate and apprehend Alvarez, take him into custody, and collect crucial evidence,” Special Agent in Charge Eugene Kowel of the FBI Omaha field office said in Tuesday release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

He owned what he thought would be the ‘safe zone’ for his fellow potential mass murderers.

  …Alvarez was taken into custody after a raid Sunday at an old church in Western, Neb., located in Saline County. The DOJ said he had intended the location to be the “safe zone” for the group he was allegedly leading. Records show that he owns the church building where the raid took place, listing an apartment south of 115th Street and West Dodge Road as his primary residence on the deed.

It all started out as testosterone-fueled online posturing, and the next thing you know…

  …In a message to the group on May 23, per court records, Thomas described the four tiers of the group’s membership, saying “We will all sacrifice for tier one operators.”

  “Tier 1 operators” were the ones who would “put themselves in harm’s way, break the law, and potentially go into hiding.” Tier 2 members would serve as getaway drivers and drone operators — and “may still be asked to seriously break the law,” including potentially breaking people out of jail. Tier 3 would serve as runners or “part of an Underground Railroad,” providing logistical and indirect support as well as tech and other supplies, “still actively contributing, but most likely safe from legal issues.” Tier 4 would — who wouldn’t be asked to take any personal risks — would consist of social media influencers, funders, press, and other followers.

  According to court records, Proper told authorities the two of them connected after Alvarez posted on TikTok about the UFC Freedom 250 event happening at the White House. Eventually, they moved the conversation to the encrypted messaging app Signal, where investigators say plans for the attack were coordinated. Authorities also found several social media posts on accounts they tied to the suspects showing firearms and other tactical training.

…this Alvarez guy has everyone training and packing up for D.C.

  …According to court records, Proper said the group would meet up in Fredericksburg, Va., and use drones during a demonstration to blow up the north side of the UFC arena built outside the White House, then shoot the crowd as they evacuated to the south. The snipers would focus on high-value targets, like wealthy people and politicians, in order to jumpstart a revolution, the documents state, listing top targets as President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Tesla/SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, and multiple members of Congress. Messages in the e-communications identified Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Jim Justice (R-W. Va.), Shelley Moore Capito (R-W. Va.), and Reps. Carol Miller (R-W. Va.) and Riley Moore (R-W. Va.), as potential targets as they were recipients of AIPAC funds.

  While Thomas told authorities he planned the UFC Freedom 250, according to court records, Alvarez allegedly posted a large portion of the planning information and provided direction to the other members in the chat group. There were also discussions on locations for snipers and drones, including where to fall back after the attack, noting that the Thomas Jefferson memorial offered the “cleanest route to exfiltrate from the area” and that some in the group would exit the area along the Potomac River.

  Records show and had taken part in conversations about possible targets and a “trigger event,” encouraging the group to focus on “someone that can’t be easily turned into a right vs left thing we want someone both sides would celebrate… someone both sides would cheer and support us for taking out.” Eskridge also told authorities that he thought half the military and potentially about 3% of the population would join their cause.

  There was also talk of a “second wave” of the plot involving power grids. Investigators said Alvarez noted in messages that “several actions and militia have been notified. They will be the teeth and the Shepherds,” records state. In a message on June 12, Alvarez said the fallback location would be an old church in Nebraska, and included a Google Streetview photo of the building, documents show.
