Secret Service Arrests Venezuelan Migrant Carrying Weapon Near White House Following Alleged Threat Against Trump
- On Thursday, Secret Service officers arrested Ronny Yordrix Guanipa Chrinos near the White House after the Venezuelan national claimed voices in his head told him to kill President Donald Trump.
- Officers approached Chrinos after he was "acting suspicious" in a parked car on Constitution Avenue; the vehicle was stolen and contained an AR-15-style rifle, two handguns, and ammunition.
- ICE lodged a detainer against the Venezuelan national, who entered the country through Texas in 2024, as he remains in Marshals Service custody facing theft and firearm charges.
- Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said, "Thanks to our brave Secret Service officers, this illegal alien with three firearms in his vehicle was arrested near the White House before he could harm anyone."
- Secret Service Director Sean Curran noted the arrest reflects a "heightened threat environment," marking the latest in a series of cases involving individuals who have threatened Trump since his return to office.
