The alleged “ringleader” of the explosive drone attack plot against the UFC event at the White House is an illegal immigrant from Mexico, the Department of Homeland Security said.
A newly revealed Department of Homeland Security document outlines plans to issue local police facial recognition technology, a move that will expand the scope of ICE surveillance. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released new details about one of the suspects behind the thwarted terror plot against the UFC Freedom 250 White House event, announcing that the “suspected ringleader” was found to be a Mexican illegal alien. It's now being revealed that the alleged terror plot, targeting the White House UFC fight on Sunday, was orchestrated by a Mexican illegal alien who remained in the country under Obama's controversial Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
The suspect described as the "RINGLEADER" of the alleged UFC Freedom 250 assassination plot is an illegal alien, the Department of Homeland Security has confirmed. According to the DHS, Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez, previously identified as a 31-year-old of Omaha, Nebraska, is actually an illegal immigrant from Mexico.
