Alleged ringleader of plot to attack Trump's UFC event is an illegal immigrant
The alleged ringleader of a terror plot to attack President Donald Trump's White House UFC event is an illegal immigrant from Mexico, officials said.
Abraham Alvarez, 31, arrived in the US as a child and failed to leave after his B2 visa expired in 2001, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said.
According to the department he was later granted relief under the Obama administration's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
Alvarez, who is said to have used the code name Shepherd, was nabbed by authorities in Omaha, Nebraska, on Sunday following a raid on an abandoned church.
Authorities said he had told others implicated in the alleged attack to meet at the church, deeming it a safe zone.
DHS said that Alvarez, and five other suspects, face federal charges of conspiracy to commit murder and conspiracy to commit violence on White House grounds.
