Secret Service arrests man near White House after he said he heard voices telling him to kill Trump
Officers found an AR-15-style rifle, two handguns and ammunition after the suspect said voices told him to kill President Donald Trump.
- On Thursday, Secret Service officers arrested Ronny Yordrix Guanipa Chrinos on Constitution Avenue near the White House after discovering three firearms in a stolen vehicle; Chrinos allegedly claimed voices told him to kill President Donald Trump.
- Records show Chrinos entered the U.S. illegally via Texas in March 2024 under the catch-and-release policy, prompting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to lodge a detainer against the Venezuelan national following his arrest.
- Authorities discovered an AR-15-style rifle and two handguns in the vehicle, and Chrinos remains in U.S. Marshals Service custody facing multiple weapons and theft charges.
- Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin praised the Secret Service for de-escalating a situation that "posed an imminent threat to our protectees," while the White House deferred comment to the Department of Homeland Security.
- Secret Service Director Sean Curran expressed being "alarmed by the increase in threat cases," noting this arrest reflects a persistent pattern of armed individuals drawn to the White House complex since Trump returned to office.
