A suspect found with three firearms in a stolen vehicle near the White House-and who told officers that voices in his head ordered him to kill President Donald Trump-has been taken into custody and charged, the US Secret Service said.
The arrest happened Thursday night after Secret Service officers approached a man “acting suspicious” in a parked car, according to a Department of Homeland Security statement. Officials identified the suspect as Ronny Yordrix Guanipa Chrinos and said he described voices telling him to come to the nation’s capital and kill the Republican president.
Officers later discovered that the vehicle had been reported stolen and that Chrinos had three different firearms and dozens of rounds of ammunition, the statement said. The arrest is the latest in a series of cases in which the Secret Service and other law enforcement agencies have detained individuals accused of threatening Trump or his family members’ lives since he returned to office last year.
The statement described Chrinos as a migrant from Venezuela who entered the US through Texas in March 2024 and is in the country illegally. DHS said he has been charged and remains in US Marshals Service custody.
The White House did not provide comment and instead referred questions to DHS and the Secret Service.
“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,” Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said in the statement.
