The FBI has identified California residents Michael Alan Thomas and Bryan Omar Roa as two of the suspects accused of taking part in an alleged terror plot targeting the UFC Freedom 250 event held on the White House South Lawn.
According to federal investigators, Thomas was considered one of the key figures in the group, while Roa was among the five people arrested in connection with the case.
Authorities say the planned attack was stopped before it could be carried out, and all five suspects now face conspiracy to commit murder charges.
Court documents describe Michael Alan Thomas as one of the alleged organizers of the plot, who believed the U.S. government was controlled by powerful elites who harmed children, had ties to Jeffrey Epstein, and were being protected by President Donald Trump.
The recovered material allegedly included maps of the UFC event, possible sniper locations, and other planning details.
Authorities also claim Thomas expressed anti-Jewish views and blamed Israel and Jewish people for broader political conflicts.
Bryan Omar Roa, also from California, was arrested as part of the FBI’s multi-state operation, but officials have not publicly detailed his specific role.
Federal investigators say the plan involved explosive-filled drones that would strike areas near the event and create panic.
