A heavily armed illegal alien was arrested in the vicinity the White House, allegedly on a mission to assassinate President Donald J. Trump that was driven by voices in his head.
Venezuelan national Ronny Yordrix Guanipa Chrinos was taken into custody on Thursday after Secret Service agents observed suspicious behavior while he was sitting in a vehicle that was parked near the president’s Washington, D.C. home.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told Fox News that the suspect was “acting suspicious in his car while it was parked on Constitution Avenue in Washington, D.C.”
BREAKING: DHS confirms to @FoxNews that a suspect arrested by US Secret Service last night in a stolen vehicle near the White House with a rifle, two handguns, and ammo is a Venezuelan illegal alien who threatened to kill President Trump and was previously caught and released at the Texas border in 2024 by the Biden administration.
Per DHS, last night, Secret Service agents saw a man acting suspiciously in a vehicle on Constitution Ave. near the White House. When agents approached it, the suspect, Ronny Yordrix Guanipa Chrinos, told them he was hearing voices in his head telling him to come to DC to kill President Trump. A search of the car revealed he had an AR-15 style rifle, a Mac 10, a Glock-43x, and ammo. The car was also stolen.
He was arrested and charged with carrying a rifle outside of a home or business, three counts of unlawful transportation of a firearm, three counts of unregistered firearms, three counts of unregistered ammunition, possession of certain dangerous weapons, carrying a pistol without a license, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, theft, and receiving stolen property.
ICE has placed a detainer on him with US Marshals, who currently have him in custody. DHS says he crossed the TX border illegally in March 2024 and was released into the country by the Biden admin.
DHS Sec. Mullin is praising the Secret Service agents:
“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,” said Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin. “On top of threatening President Trump, he is an illegal alien from Venezuela who had no business being in our country in the first place. This is just an example of the incredible work done by the men and women of the Secret Service every single day.”

When officers approached the car, the obviously disturbed illegal told them that voices in his head instructed him to drive to the nation’s capital to kill Trump. A search of the vehicle discovered three guns: an AR-15 style rifle, a Mac-10, and a Glock-43x, along with ammunition.
The car turned out to be stolen, and the kicker is that the would-be assassin was released into the country during the Biden administration, a regime that bears responsibility for flooding the nation with illegal aliens, many of them violent criminals and psychopaths.
Chrinos “illegally entered the country through Texas in March 2024 and was subsequently arrested by U.S. Border Patrol, according to officials. He was later released into the country under the Biden administration, authorities said,” Fox News reported.
“After his arrest, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged a detainer for Chrinos with the U.S. Marshals Service, which currently has custody of Chrinos,” according to the outlet.
The Secret Service said that the illegal’s arrest is an example of the threat from armed persons who are “drawn to the White House complex.”
“This is the latest example of Secret Service personnel relying on extensive training and experience to de-escalate a volatile situation that posed an imminent threat to our protectees and other Americans,” USSS Director Sean Curran said in a statement.
“Thanks to our brave Secret Service officers, this criminal illegal alien with three firearms in his vehicle was arrested near the White House before he could harm anyone,” DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said in a statement.

On top of threatening President Trump, he is an illegal alien from Venezuela who was RELEASED into our country by the Biden administration. He had NO business being in our country in the first place.
This is just one example of the incredible work done by the men and women of the Secret Service every single day as they put their lives on the line to protect our nation’s leaders.
It’s an honor to work alongside Director Sean Curran and all of the patriots at the U.S. Secret Service.

Chrinos is facing multiple charges, including “carrying a rifle outside a home or business, three counts of unlawful transportation of a firearm, three counts of possessing an unregistered firearm, three counts of possessing unregistered ammunition, possession of certain dangerous weapons, carrying a pistol without a license, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, theft and receiving stolen property,” Fox News reported.
Trump has survived at least two assassination attempts, including narrowly avoiding having his head blown off during a July 2024 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
