The U.S. Secret Service arrested Ronny Yordrix Guanipa Chrinos on Thursday night after officers found him in a vehicle near the White House with three guns. He is now in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
Chrinos, a Venezuelan national who entered the United States through Texas in March 2024, told officers he is in the country illegally. According to a Homeland Security statement, agents approached the parked car because he was acting suspiciously. During the encounter, the suspect described hearing voices in his head instructing him to travel to the capital to kill President Donald Trump.
Officers later determined the car had been reported stolen. They also found three different firearms and dozens of rounds of ammunition inside the vehicle. The White House declined to provide its own comment and referred reporters to the Department of Homeland Security and the Secret Service.
This incident marks the latest in a series of arrests involving individuals who have threatened the lives of Trump or his family members since he returned to office last year. The arrest occurred shortly after the initial approach by officers.
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin released a statement regarding the event. "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," Mullin said.
