Authorities have released mugshots of all five suspects, including one who appeared to be smiling. These individuals are accused of orchestrating what prosecutors have termed a “mass casualty event,” aimed at President Donald Trump and other prominent figures during the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House. The booking photos have been made publicly available.

The arrests occurred this month in a coordinated multi-state operation. Federal authorities have uncovered what they believe was a detailed plan for an attack, involving drones equipped with explosives, sniper teams, and safe houses to facilitate the assault during the event.

Despite the serious nature of the alleged plot, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro confirmed to Fox News on Wednesday that her office is not involved in the case. “We do not have a piece of that case,” Pirro stated.

Asked whether she expected the matter could eventually be brought to her office because the alleged target was in Washington, D.C., Pirro said prosecutors need activity within the district to establish jurisdiction.

“You have to have some kind of actual activity to bring a case,” Pirro said.

News Media obtained all five booking photos.

Tycen C. Proper, 19, of Ohio, is accused of compiling a target list containing 46 individuals and spending roughly $3,000 in graduation money on weapons, ammunition and tactical gear. Prosecutors allege investigators recovered writings outlining extremist beliefs and planning materials related to the plot.

Bryan Omar Roa, 24, of California, was among the five suspects charged in connection with the alleged scheme. Prosecutors say he participated in encrypted group communications used by members of the group as they discussed the operation.

Michael Alan Thomas, 32, of California, allegedly participated in discussions about contingency plans if members of the group were arrested. According to charging documents, Thomas suggested helping co-conspirators escape custody if necessary.

“We will try to break them out of jail if we need to,” Thomas allegedly said, according to court documents.

Daniel K. Eskridge, 32, of Kidder, Missouri, allegedly offered his rural property as a safe house and discussed constructing a hidden bunker beneath a shed, according to prosecutors. Investigators also allege he participated in conversations about acquiring explosive materials.

Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez, 31, of Omaha, Nebraska, who’s seen smiling in his mugshot released by officials, was identified by prosecutors as the alleged ringleader of the group.

According to charging documents, Alvarez used coded references in encrypted chats when discussing intended targets, including Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Elon Musk.

The group allegedly planned to launch explosive-laden drones above the White House UFC event before targeting officials and security personnel as attendees evacuated the area.

Federal authorities allege the attack plan called for drones to detonate above the crowd, forcing attendees and designated “high-value targets” toward a southern evacuation point where sniper teams would be positioned.

Investigators further allege members of the group discussed obtaining military ordnance after determining they lacked the expertise to manufacture explosives themselves. According to court filings, one proposal involved targeting the Kansas Army Ammunition Plant in Parsons, Kansas.

The criminal case remains pending.

The beloved horror classic “Scream 2” may have thrilled audiences, but the financial returns for its actors, even decades later, tell a different story.

Actor Craig Shoemaker, known for his role in the 1997 film, recently shared on Instagram that he received a mere $34.09 in residuals. This revelation sparked a flurry of reactions from fans in the comments section.

One follower expressed skepticism, saying, “So you had a bit part in one sequel of a multi-movie franchise a quarter-century ago. Not sure if you’re rage baiting or legit complaining.”

Shoemaker, now 61, responded with a touch of humor, stating, “How about none of the above, and the rage inside of you is the only baiting? Lol.”

Another commenter chimed in, “Better than nothing. Would better negotiations have changed that? You were a day player, after all.”

“It’s said with humor, and nothing else. If you don’t get it, then move on,” Shoemaker clapped back.

Others found the humor in Shoemaker’s post, with one fan chiming in, “Now now now…don’t get crazy…that’s $34 before taxes taken out. Soooo $25 bucks?”

“S–t,” the actor responded. “I didn’t think about that. I’m down to a hotdog and a lemonade now.”

“In 1997 I was cast in the role of the film professor in the sequel of the original Scream movie, Scream 2, where I lead a conversation in class about film sequels,” Shoemaker originally wrote on Tuesday alongside a shot of the letter.

“The residuals keep rolling in, baby! What should I buy with my 34 bucks?” he teased.

“Scream” premiered in 1996 and starred Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Skeet Ulrich, Rose McGowan, Matthew Lillard and Jamie Kennedy.

The sequel hit theaters a year later in 1997 and followed Sidney Prescott (Campbell) at college.

Along with Campbell, the cast included Arquette, Cox, Kennedy, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Laurie Metcalf, Jerry O’Connell, Timothy Olyphant, Jada Pinkett Smith and Liev Schreiber.

Shoemaker is listed as having played “Artsy Teacher” in the film, according to IMDb.

In 2022, Campbell, 52, decided to walk away from the franchise’s sixth movie due to a salary dispute.

“Sadly, I won’t be making the next ‘Scream’ film,” she said in a statement to Page Six at the time.

“As a woman I have had to work extremely hard in my career to establish my value, especially when it comes to ‘Scream.’”

The franchise made headlines once again in 2023 after Melissa Barrera was fired from “Scream 7” following a series of comments about the Israel-Hamas war.

Jenna Ortega, who starred in 2022’s “Scream” and 2023’s “Scream VI,” with Barrera, 35, revealed she also exited the franchise.

Ulrich, 56, meanwhile, confirmed to The Post that he was supposed to be in “Scream 7″ — despite dying in the first movie — until Barrera was axed.

The actress played his on-screen daughter in the films.

However, nearly 30 years after the iconic slasher franchise first debuted, most of OG cast reunited for “Scream 7,” which premiered this past February.

Campbell and Cox made a comeback alongside Lillard, 56, and Arquette, 54 — despite their character’s being killed off. Metcalf, 71, and Scott Foley also reprised their roles from past films.

The film marked frequent “Scream” creator/writer Kevin Williamson’s first time directing, following the 2015 death of Wes Craven, who directed the first four films in the franchise. Williamson took over after Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, who directed the 2022 and 2023 installments, exited.

“Oh, it’s been awesome [to return],” he gushed to The Post last summer. “I’ve always been on the fringes of the last few ‘Scream’ movies, as sort of the granddaddy of the franchise.”

In a recent move, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced that all individuals held at the immigration detention center located on a remote airstrip in the Florida Everglades have been relocated to different facilities. This center, often dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz,” has been emptied due to concerns surrounding the ongoing hurricane season.

While the South Florida Detention Center has received accolades from former President Donald Trump, it has also faced intense scrutiny. Criticism has come from lawyers, families, and human rights organizations, who have consistently condemned the treatment of detainees since the center’s inauguration 11 months ago, during the Atlantic hurricane season.

Although the Department of Homeland Security confirmed the transfer of detainees, it did not disclose the number of individuals moved or their new locations. Additionally, the future of the facility remains uncertain, with no clear indication of whether it will shut down permanently or just temporarily.

“For the safety of the illegal alien detainees, we transferred them to other facilities,” stated Lauren Bis, a spokesperson for the department, in an emailed communication.

The hurricane season, which lasts from June to November, began a month before the detention center opened on July 3, 2025. Remarkably, that year concluded without any hurricanes striking Florida, yet the facility has continued its operations since its establishment.

Shortly after ICE announcement, the National Hurricane Center reported on Wednesday that the first tropical storm o f the 2026 hurricane season had formed off the Texas coast.

Detainees at the facility have talked about their difficulty accessing lawyers, and have described poor physical conditions, including worms in the food, toilets that don’t flush, flooding floors with fecal waste, and mosquitoes and other insects everywhere.

Surrounded by alligator-filled swamps in the Florida Everglades, “Alligator Alcatraz” was built by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration in a matter of days, and Trump toured it on July 1, 2025, just two days before it was opened.

Since the facility opened, immigration advocates said the tents were never safe or humane to hold people. Federal and state officials, nonetheless, had said that it was prepared to withstand hurricanes.

“Transferring people out of this cruel facility is an important step, but it does not erase the harm that has already been done,” said Amy Godshall, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union who filed a lawsuit against the state and the federal government alleging a lack of access to legal representation for detainees. “The state and federal government must permanently close this facility and commit to never detaining people there again.”

DeSantis said in May that South Florida Detention Facility always was meant to be temporary. He said the facility had processed and deported 22,000 detainees since its opening.

Hurricane season is an excuse, activists say

Immigration advocates and lawyers said the hurricane season is an excuse, not the real reason why the detainees have been transferred.

“That’s a nonsense excuse because they opened in the middle of the worst part of hurricane season last year,” said Arianne Betancourt, a community advocate at the non-governmental group The Workers Circle who has spent months connecting dozens of detainees with pro-bono attorneys.

Betancourt and other advocates and attorneys said they noticed an increase in the transfer of detainees to other facilities over the past two weeks, during which time they lost contact with dozens of detainees.

Katie Blankenship, an immigration attorney at Sanctuary of the South, said all 50 clients that she and other attorneys have been providing free advice during the past 20 days have been moved from “Alligator Alcatraz” to other facilities in South Florida, California, Arizona, Louisiana and Texas.

“They are all gone,” Blankenship said. “They have been moved and disappeared into the system and are unavailable to family or counsel, typically for a period of about a week.”

She noted that she hasn’t received any official notice about the transfers, but instead found out because her clients did not appear at hearings or did not show up at calls. When she tried to find out what had happened to them, she located them using the official detainee search tool and saw that they had been transferred to other facilities, Blankenship said.

Families left to pick up pieces

Renata Bozzetto, deputy director of the Florida Immigrant Coalition, said that even if the facility is closed, the harm will not end.

“Many of the people detained there will be transferred to other detention facilities, while their families continue to face uncertainty and hardship,’’ Bozzetto said. “When this detention camp closes, many corporations and contractors will have walked away with millions in profits, while immigrant families are left to pick up the pieces.”

In a tragic turn of events, Hollywood is mourning the loss of Daveigh Chase, the talented actress who passed away at the tender age of 35. Her untimely demise came after a prolonged hospitalization due to severe malnutrition.

Her death was confirmed by her boyfriend on Tuesday, who shared that she had been battling a series of serious health issues, including meningitis, a blood infection, and sepsis. These complications ultimately led to her passing.

Chase was admitted to a Los Angeles hospital in early June, and despite efforts to stabilize her condition, her health steadily declined, culminating in her death on Tuesday.

In the weeks leading up to this heartbreaking outcome, her partner, Roy Hernandez, had been actively seeking financial support through GoFundMe campaigns, hoping to cover the costs of her medical care.

Chase first captured the public’s attention as a child star in 2002 with her chilling role as Samara Morgan in the horror film “The Ring.” Her performance left a lasting impression on audiences and solidified her place in Hollywood history.

She slipped out of the spotlight in 2013 and retreated from public view entirely in 2017, when she posted on social media for the last time. 

Over the next few years, the star was arrested multiple times on a variety of charges from joyriding in stealing cars to drug possession. Her partner describes a bitter feud with her family, and a desperate fight for them to get off the streets. 

In a tragic premonition of her own death, she was questioned in 2017 after dropping an unconscious man off outside of a hospital and driving away. He later died of a drug overdose.

Hernandez, Chase’s partner, said the pair were homeless in the years before her death.

In one of his fundraisers, her partner pleaded: ‘Daveigh Chase, my girlfriend, has always been a light in my life… But behind the scenes, she’s faced more than her share of hardship.’

‘After a difficult childhood and a painful falling out with her family, Daveigh was bullied and struggled to find safety and happiness in downtown LA. When we met, I promised to protect her and give her the love and comfort she deserved. 

‘Together, we found moments of happiness and hope.’

He continued: ‘Recently, everything changed. Daveigh was diagnosed with meningitis and several serious blood infections. Her condition has become critical, and the doctors have told me she may not have much time left. All she ever wanted was a place where we could live together, feel safe, and be happy. 

‘Now, more than ever, I want to give her that sense of home and peace in her final days.

‘I understand we all go through things, but if you can help, I will be really grateful for anything.’

Chase has not been seen on social media since 2017, and her last red carpet appearance was at a Vogue dinner in April 2013. 

In 2002 she voiced the character of Lilo in the animated classic Lilo & Stitch

She had several run-ins with the law. In November 2017, she was arrested in Los Angeles for joyriding in a stolen car.

Chase was reportedly a passenger in a BMW that police officers pulled over in Hollywood, according to the site. 

The actress was reportedly booked for being in a car without the owner’s consent, which, the website reported, is a felony. The driver was also booked.

An investigation was opened to determine who stole the BMW as Chase was held in jail on $25,000 bond.

It was not the first run-in with the law for the star.

In February 2017, she was arrested by LAPD detectives after she allegedly left a dying man outside a hospital.

Chase had reportedly been hanging out with the man in the early hours of February 15 before she left him at the hospital’s front door and fled.

Police ran her name and discovered an outstanding warrant out against her for an unrelated misdemeanor traffic violation, leading to her arrest, TMZ reported at the time.

Chase was not a suspect in the man’s death, which was believed to be caused by an overdose. 

Her sad final days are a far cry from the wholesome Hollywood stardom she once enjoyed. 

She was beloved for her voice role as Lilo in the hit 2002 Disney film Lilo & Stitch and the follow-up TV show, and she voiced Chihiro Ogino in Spirited Away.

In 2006, she played Rhonda Volmer in 32 episodes of the series Big Love with Chloe Sevigny about a polygamist Mormon family.

Other appearances included roles in Donnie Darko, Beethoven’s 5th, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, ER and Mercy.

The New Mexico Department of Justice is pursuing almost $1 billion from Meta, the parent company of Facebook, after a jury in the state recently found the tech giant guilty of compromising children’s safety and deceiving the public regarding the security of its platforms.

In light of last month’s verdict, Meta has been instructed to pay the highest civil penalty permissible by law, which amounts to $5,000 for each violation. This penalty, for infringing upon New Mexico’s Unfair Practices Act, has resulted in a total of $375 million.

Recently, a court filing was submitted, requesting that Meta be compelled to contribute $953 million to a fund aimed at bolstering public education and behavioral health initiatives. This development was highlighted in a report by SourceNM.

New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez has previously criticized Meta’s executives for allegedly prioritizing profits over the safety of children. He accused them of ignoring internal warnings and misleading the public about what they were aware of regarding the risks associated with their platforms.

Torrez alleged Meta’s specific design choices enabled pedophiles and predators to sexually exploit children on its platforms.

He added the company intentionally designed its apps to addict young users, exposing them to dangerous content promoting self-harm and eating disorders.

The state’s requested abatement amount was dropped more than 90% from its initial demands.

A Meta spokesperson told News Media that throughout the trial, the New Mexico Attorney General “continued his misguided strategy of proposing mandates that would risk leaving teens less safe, infringe on parental rights and stifle free expression.”

“Even the judge noted those mandates could be an “overreach,” the spokesperson said. “The State’s case ignores the hundreds of apps teens use daily and fails to provide scientific or legal justification for their demands of Meta. We remain committed to providing safe, age-appropriate experiences and have already launched many of the protections the state seeks, including 13 safety measures this past year.”
