FBI says it foiled plot to attack White House UFC event with drones and snipers

The FBI announced it had arrested five men, including an Ohio man named Tycen Proper, for allegedly plotting to attack a UFC event at the White House using drones and sniper rifles. The agency said it foiled the planned attacks before they could be carried out.

Some Republican figures, including Vice President JD Vance, used the foiled plot to criticize left-wing violence. The FBI did not provide details on a specific political motive for the alleged plot.
