The US Department of Homeland Security said that an illegal immigrant carrying guns and ammunition was arrested by Secret Service agents near the White House. The suspect claimed to have come to assassinate President Trump. CNN reported on the 7th that Secret Service agents discovered suspicious behavior of a man driving near the White House on the 5th, so they stepped forward to interrogate him. The man claimed “there was a voice in his head telling him to come to Washington to assassinate President Trump,” and admitted that he was carrying a gun. Secret Service agents found a rifle, two pistols, and dozens of rounds of bullets in the car, and discovered that the car the man was driving was a stolen vehicle. The Department of Homeland Security said the man is Venezuelan and entered the US illegally in 2024. He was arrested on a number of charges relating to weapons. The Secret Service said that the White House has increasingly become a target for people with mental health problems.
