Secret Service arrests man near White House after he said he heard voices telling him to kill Trump
Authorities say he was armed with three firearms and dozens of rounds of ammunition after telling officers voices directed 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.
