The core narrative of this topic, summarized from reporting across multiple outlets. This captures the key facts that most outlets agree on.

Federal authorities said they disrupted an alleged plot to attack UFC Freedom 250 at the White House, charging five men after a multistate investigation involving the FBI, Justice Department, Secret Service and regional partners. Prosecutors alleged the conspirators discussed using explosive-laden drones to strike nearby buildings and deploying snipers or gunmen against fleeing crowds and “high value targets” at the South Lawn event. FBI Director Kash Patel announced the arrests after investigators moved against suspects including 19-year-old Tycen Proper of Ohio, while court filings described a broader online network that had been monitored before the event. Officials said the intervention prevented a potentially mass-casualty attack on a high-profile gathering attended by political figures and other VIPs.
