Venezuelan Man Arrested Near White House With AR-15 To Kill Trump

A 26-year-old illegal immigrant from Venezuela told Secret Service agents that voices in his head ordered him to kill President Donald Trump. This man was found with an AR-15 style rifle and two handguns parked just blocks from the White House. He claimed the voices told him to come to Washington, D.C. to commit the act. The suspect admitted he heard voices commanding him to assassinate the President.

While parked on Constitution Avenue, Ronny Yordrix Guanipa Chrinos appeared suspicious to Secret Service officers in his vehicle, according to the Daily Wire. The vehicle had been reported stolen, and Chrinos admitted to having weapons inside the truck. Per the Department of Homeland Security, officers found an AR-15 style rifle, a MAC-10, a Glock 43X pistol, and dozens of rounds of ammunition. Chrinos was asleep in a blue Ford F-150 when agents woke him at 11:42 p.m. Thursday.

After US Border Patrol detained him in March 2024, Chrinos crossed Texas into the nation illegally. Biden administration policies later led to his release within the country. This release allowed him to travel freely to the nation's capital with lethal weapons. Markwayne Mullin, Homeland Security Secretary, declared that Chrinos should never have entered our country.

Currently held in custody by the US Marshals Service, Chrinos has an ICE detainer filed against him. He faces multiple charges including carrying a rifle outside a home, unlawful transportation of firearms, and theft. The Secret Service called this the latest example of personnel relying on training to deescalate a volatile situation. A rise in armed individuals near the White House complex indicates a more dangerous threat environment, they observed.

This arrest proves that our current border policies put the President and the American people at direct risk. We allowed a man with a history of illegal entry to walk free while he planned to kill the Commander in Chief. The fact that he was released after a prior arrest shows a system that ignores the danger posed by illegal aliens. Secretary Mullin thanked the brave officers who stopped this illegal alien with three firearms before he could harm anyone.

Every family in America needs to know that the government is failing to keep its protectees safe. The Secret Service Director expressed alarm over the growing number of threat cases that keep emerging.
