New court filings and investigative documents have shed light on the alleged plot targeting the White House during President Donald Trump's UFC Freedom 250 event, with reports linking at least 12 suspects across four states to an extremist ideology known as accelerationism.
According to The Mirror US, authorities have arrested multiple individuals in connection with the alleged scheme, which federal investigators say was disrupted before it could be carried out.
The suspects were reportedly located in Ohio, California, Missouri, and Nebraska.
Among those identified in court records are 19-year-old Tycen Proper of Ohio, Michael Alan Thomas and Bryan Omar Roa of California, Abraham Hermosillo Alvaraz of Nebraska, and Daniel Eskridge of Missouri.
The report states that at least 12 people connected to the investigation allegedly adhered to accelerationist beliefs, a fringe ideology that advocates using violence and social unrest to hasten the collapse of existing institutions.
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) describes accelerationism as an extremist belief rooted in parts of the white supremacist movement.
A mother's tip reportedly sparked the investigation, after she contacted law enforcement about her son's behavior, firearms purchases, and online communications.
Court documents cited by The Mirror US indicate that Proper's mother told investigators that Proper had recently been interacting online with individuals who claimed to be former military members and used religion to influence participants.
She also reportedly overheard conversations about physical training for “recon” and “hit and run missions,” which she interpreted as references to planned shootings.
Authorities later arrested Proper on June 10.
