California terror ring busted over White House UFC drone plot as suspects’ twisted motive revealed: FBI

Two California men have been identified as suspects in the foiled terror plot targeting the UFC event at the White House — including one of the alleged masterminds, according to an arrest affidavit first reported by Fox News.

Michael Alan Thomas allegedly told investigators he believed the US government was controlled by elites who “sacrifice and eat children,” had ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and were being protected by President Trump, the documents state.

Authorities say Thomas was among the alleged ringleaders of the scheme and that agents recovered screenshots of Signal group chats discussing the attack, including maps of the event grounds and suggested sniper positions.

Another man, Bryan Omar Roa, was also arrested in California, Fox News reported.

The multi-phase terror attack involved explosive-laden drone aircraft meant to strike buildings in the vicinity of the event, sparking mass panic and driving the fleeing crowd toward a sniper team poised to pick victims off, officials said.

Another suspect, Tycen Proper, was arrested in Ohio, officials said.

The trio are part of five suspects arrested by the FBI on Tuesday. The identity of the other two are unknown. All of the men were charged with conspiracy to commit murder.

Agents also seized rifles and ammunition during the investigation.

The FBI announced Tuesday that it had arrested five people in connection with the alleged plot to attack Sunday’s UFC Freedom 250 event on the White House South Lawn.

Officials told The Post the scheme involved explosive-laden drones that would sow panic among attendees before sniper teams opened fire and a second group allegedly attempted to breach the White House grounds.
