Two California men have been named as suspects in a thwarted terror plot targeting the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House, including one alleged organizer of the scheme, according to an arrest affidavit first reported by Fox News.

Michael Alan Thomas allegedly told investigators that he believed the US government was run by elites who “sacrifice and eat children,” had connections to Jeffrey Epstein, and were being shielded by President Trump, according to the affidavit.

Authorities say Thomas was among the suspected leaders of the operation, with investigators recovering screenshots from Signal group chats that allegedly showed discussions about the planned attack, including event maps and proposed sniper locations.

Another California man, Bryan Omar Roa, was also taken into custody, Fox News reported.

Officials said the alleged multi-stage attack involved drones packed with explosives that were intended to strike areas near the event, causing chaos and sending crowds fleeing toward sniper teams positioned to target victims.

A third suspect, Tycen Proper, was arrested in Ohio, authorities said.

The three men were among five suspects arrested by the FBI on Tuesday in connection with the alleged plan.

The identity of the fifth suspect has not been released. All five individuals were charged with conspiracy to commit murder.

Investigators also recovered rifles and ammunition as part of the operation.

The FBI announced Tuesday that it had detained five people accused of plotting an attack on Sunday’s UFC Freedom 250 event held on the White House South Lawn.

According to officials, the alleged plan involved explosive-equipped drones designed to trigger panic among attendees, followed by sniper attacks and an attempted breach of the White House grounds by another group.

Officials told The NY Post that the suspects allegedly intended to use the confusion created by the drone attacks as part of a broader assault involving multiple coordinated elements.
