It’s now being revealed that the alleged terror plot, targeting the White House UFC fight on Sunday, was orchestrated by a Mexican illegal alien who remained in the country under Obama’s controversial Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. 

As The Gateway Pundit reported, the alleged ringleader of the plot, Abraham Alvarez of Omaha, Nebraska, was revealed in court documents to be a noncitizen. However, his country of origin and immigration status were unclear at the time.

“The conspirators allegedly planned to deploy drones armed with explosives in and around the UFC Freedom 250 event in order to force an evacuation of the event and then planned to deploy snipers to fire upon ‘high value targets’ within the fleeing crowd,” the DOJ said.

Alvarez, who went by the name “Shepherd” in an encrypted messaging app, was allegedly “responsible for planning, organizing, and directing the planned attack, based on conversation excerpts in June,” according to the FBI and Department of Justice.

“This is the best action I see. Position your teams in the purple dots (counter sniper and drones) Long range (circled area) (great shot) Easy out into the river,” Alvarez allegedly posted in the group chat used by conspirators. Alvarez also discussed making explosive drones, directing another to build “As many and as deadly as we can get,” according to the criminal complaint.

He further provided directions to the other conspirators to a church in Nebraska to be used as a safe zone, a “pick up location,” and locations in the White House area to be used as drone launch points and sniper positions, the complaint alleges.

He is one of five arrested earlier this month in connection with the plot.

The Department of Homeland Security confirmed on Thursday that Alvarez is an illegal alien from Mexico, and he's been in the country illegally for more than 20 years.

Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez, from Mexico, planned, organized, and directed the planned attack. He was arrested by the @FBI on June 14, and @ICEgov has lodged a detainer against him.

Alvarez FAILED to leave the country when his B2 tourist visa expired in 2001. He was granted DACA by the Obama administration.

This illegal alien should NEVER have been allowed in our country — and we will ensure he faces justice and is swiftly removed from our nation.
