FBI disrupts alleged plot targeting White House UFC event, officials say

Washington — The FBI says it disrupted an alleged attempt to target Sunday’s UFC America 250 event at the White House.

“On June 10, FBI and our law enforcement partners became aware of a potential threat to the UFC America 250 event in Washington, D.C. involving individuals outside of the National Capital Region — and thanks to the rapid action of this FBI, our partners, and the Department of Justice in a multi-state operation, multiple individuals are now in custody and allegedly planned attacks were stopped cold,” FBI Director Kash Patel said Tuesday in a post on X. 

This is a developing story and will be updated.
