(The Hill) A Texas man was arrested for allegedly trespassing at Mar-a-Lago early morning on Tuesday, telling law enforcement that he wanted to “spread the gospel” to President Donald Trump and marry the commander-in-chief’s granddaughter. 

Anthony Thomas Reyes, 23, was arrested by the Palm Beach Police Department for “unlawfully entering” the Mar-a-Lago Club, Trump’s resort in Palm Beach, Fla., according to the Secret Service. 

“Shortly after midnight, the individual scaled a perimeter fence and triggered alarms. U.S. Secret Service personnel detained him without incident at the scene. Palm Beach Police officers responded to the scene and took the individual into custody, charging him with occupied trespassing,” a Secret Service spokesperson told partner The Hill in an emailed statement on Tuesday. 

No Secret Service protectees were present when the incident took place. 

Reyes allegedly told law enforcement that he hopped over Mar-a-Lago’s walls to speak to Trump about the “gospel” and then marry Kai Madison Trump, Donald Trump Jr.’s daughter, who turned 18 last month, according to an arrest report reviewed by multiple outlets.

Reyes was previously arrested and accused of trespassing at Mar-a-Lago on New Year’s Eve in 2024, according to the police report. Court records show that Reyes was booked at the Palm Beach County Jail. He pleaded not guilty. The bond was set at $50,000, and the judge ordered him not to have contact with the president or any of his family members. 

The incident comes less than a year after Ryan Wesley Routh was accused of attempting to assassinate Trump at his golf course in West Palm Beach. The state of Florida hit Routh with charges of attempted first-degree murder and terrorism in early April.

Kai Trump is attending Benjamin School and has committed to play golf at University of Miami.
