GPS links the group to several Antifa protests and known Jihadist training camps in Pinon Hills and Yucaipa, California, which we had been tracking since 2017.
All five were arrested in a multi-state operation (Ohio, California, Missouri, Nebraska). The investigation is ongoing, with more potential suspects identified.
The group allegedly communicated for weeks/months (starting ~March, intensifying in encrypted apps). The plan: Detonate explosive drones over/near the north side of the event to force evacuation south toward waiting snipers/shooters targeting high-value individuals. A possible "second wave" at a White House gate was mentioned in some reports. They discussed rendezvous points (e.g., Fredericksburg, VA), training, funding, and anti-government motives (grievances over corruption, Epstein files, data centers, etc.; some described as ultra-religious/Christian-based and claiming ex-military ties). No foreign terrorism links reported.
Evidence included seized weapons/ammo/tactical gear, chat screenshots, maps, and photos. The plot was described as serious but disrupted before execution; officials (FBI Director Kash Patel, Secret Service) emphasized it was stopped "cold" due to vigilance, including Proper's mother's tip.
Tycen C. Proper, 19, Danville, Ohio (arrested ~June 10 at his parents' home): Allegedly a central figure who admitted to planning and encouraging participation. He faces four charges in the Southern District of Ohio: conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States, attempted murder of any officer/employee of the United States, possession of a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence, and receipt/transfer of a firearm used to commit a felony.
Proper's mother alerted authorities after overhearing concerns about his online chats, recent firearm purchases (using ~$3,000 in graduation money), and plans to travel. He was interviewed in a medical facility (for homicidal ideation) and described the plot as aiming to "jumpstart" a revolution. Evidence from his phone included encrypted Signal/SimpleX group chats (involving ~19-23 people total), maps of D.C./White House, sniper positions, drone launch points, and discussions of targets (e.g., members of Congress). He amassed firearms, thousands of rounds of ammo, and tactical gear.
Bryan Omar Roa, 24, Calimesa, California, and Michael Alan Thomas, 32, Pinon Hills, California (arrested June 13/14): Charged with conspiracy to commit murder. Searches of their residences/vehicles yielded rifles, handguns, ammo (including extended magazines), tactical gear, two-way radios, and laser pointers. Phone evidence showed group chats with Proper and others discussing drones/explosives, rooftop snipers, "gorilla style warfare," marksmen training, and "tiers" of operators. Roa posted Instagram videos of shooting; Thomas referenced past combat experience and funding drones (~$1,300).
Daniel K. Eskridge, 32, Kidder, Missouri, and Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez, 31, Omaha, Nebraska: Also charged in the conspiracy. Evidence included chats about assassinating senators/representatives (some tied to perceived pro-Israel lobbying), power grids, tactical gear photos, drone/charge funding, team structures (snipers, operators, lookouts), and safe zones/exit routes. Alvarez ("Shepherd") allegedly directed planning with drone/sniper positions and river escapes.
Maybe the
@FBI can finally stop protecting/guarding the Jihadist training camps in America?
This map below is outdated.
Ask yourself who is allowing these Islamic training camps and why? This map, from 2017, shows the known Islamic training camps in the US at that time.
What part, if any, did the Jihadists play in radicalizing these men?
