A MOTHER’S chilling warning helped expose an alleged plot to kill thousands at Donald Trump’s White House UFC event, a stunning new court document has revealed.

Suspect Tycen Proper’s mom contacted police after becoming alarmed by her 19-year-old son’s gun purchases, online contacts, and talk of “recon” and “hit and run missions,” according to a federal affidavit released on Tuesday.

 

Proper had also allegedly blown $3,000 of his high school graduation money on guns, ammunition and tactical gear.

The Ohio teenager is among five men now charged over the alleged plan to unleash explosive drones and snipers on the UFC Freedom 250 crowd.

The Justice Department said the group intended to kill government officials and others attending the historic fight night.

Proper’s mother alerted the Danville Police Department and Knox County Sheriff’s Office on June 10 over his “recent conduct,” per the affidavit.

Her concerns included his weapons purchases and communications with people he had met online, according to a federal affidavit.

She said those individuals claimed to be former military members and “Christian-based.”

“PROPER’s mother detailed that talking with these individuals online has caused PROPER to lean heavily into his religion, and she believed that those individuals were using religion to manipulate and influence her son,” the affidavit said.

She had also overheard Proper discussing physical training for “recon” and “hit and run missions.”

The worried mom understood those comments to mean that her son was preparing to carry out shootings.

His father later told investigators that Proper had spent $3,000 of his graduation money on a shotgun, rifle, and “lots” of ammunition.

He had also allegedly bought extra magazines, ballistic plates, plate carriers, camping equipment, and food.

Agents searching the family home found thousands of rounds of ammunition, spent cartridge casings, and tactical clothing, prosecutors said.

 

Proper was interviewed at a medical facility on June 11.

He allegedly admitted planning a coordinated assault with others to “jumpstart” a revolution against the US government.

The group believed the country was heading in the wrong direction and “needed to be torn down so that it could be rebuilt,” according to an earlier affidavit.

Prosecutors said members began communicating around March before the most serious participants moved onto an encrypted messaging app.

The FBI infiltrated the private Signal group as its members allegedly prepared the mass-casualty attack.

The suspects allegedly planned to meet in Fredericksburg, Virginia, before traveling to the nation’s capital.

Small drones packed with explosives would be detonated over the north side of the UFC arena, the Justice Department said.

The blasts were allegedly intended to force officials and other “high value targets” to flee the White House grounds.

 

Snipers would then open fire on the escaping crowd, according to the charges.

Proper allegedly amassed firearms, thousands of rounds of ammunition, and tactical equipment for the operation.

He also identified possible targets, including several members of Congress.

The five defendants were arrested during a multi-state operation in Ohio, Missouri, Nebraska, and California.

They were named as Proper; Bryan Omar Roa, 24; Michael Alan Thomas, 32; Daniel K. Eskridge, 32; and Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez, 31.

Roa was arrested in Southern California after agents searched his home and vehicle.

Investigators allegedly seized a rifle, a handgun, a tactical belt, ammunition, a rifle magazine, a two-way radio, and an infrared laser target pointer.

His phone contained group messages with Proper, Thomas, and others discussing explosive drones and rooftop snipers, prosecutors said.

Agents also found Instagram videos that allegedly showed Roa firing guns.

Thomas allegedly discussed how the group could pay for the equipment needed for the attack.

“$1300 gets us the drones and the charges. Yes we should all pitch in and we need it asap…” he allegedly wrote on June 7.

Thomas also outlined four “tiers” of people within the anti-government network.

 

Tier one consisted of fighters on the ground, while tier two included drivers and drone operators, according to the complaint.

Tier three would provide supplies and tier four would work as social media influencers.

“Tier one status is not something to take lightly,” Thomas allegedly wrote.

“We will try to break them out of jail if we need to.”

He also discussed meeting Roa in Southern California for “marksmen training” and said the group needed to prepare for “gorilla style warfare.”

Agents searching Thomas’ home on June 13 allegedly recovered a rifle, 30-round extended magazines, 180 rounds of ammunition and a pistol.

Eskridge was identified after the FBI examined electronic messages on Proper’s phone.

The group allegedly discussed assassinating senators, members of Congress and prominent business executives.

Some politicians were singled out because members believed they had accepted money from pro-Israel lobbying groups.

Eskridge allegedly described one possible target as “big and someone a majority of the country knows.”

Power grids were also discussed as potential targets.

In May, Eskridge shared a photograph of tactical equipment including a rifle, helmet and ballistic vest, prosecutors said.

He later said the operation would need five teams of three people.

Each team would allegedly include a sniper, a ground operator acting as support and lookout, and a drone pilot.

A search of Eskridge’s Missouri home uncovered rifles, a shotgun, a pistol and tactical gear, officials said.

Alvarez allegedly used the name “Shepherd” in the encrypted group.

The FBI believes he was responsible for organizing and directing the White House assault.

“This is the best action I see. Position your teams in the purple dots (counter sniper and drones) Long range (circled area) (great shot) Easy out into the river,” he allegedly wrote.

Asked about building explosive drones, Alvarez reportedly replied: “As many and as deadly as we can get.”

He allegedly said he already had one drone and was working on obtaining more.

Alvarez also shared proposed launch points, sniper positions and an escape route leading to a safe zone at an old Nebraska church.

The men are accused of conspiring to stage a mass-casualty attack against officials attending Freedom 250.

Each defendant faces up to life in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted of conspiracy to commit murder.

Conspiracy to carry out violence on White House grounds carries a maximum sentence of five years.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said the alleged scheme had been disrupted before it could be launched.

“The FBI, our law enforcement partners and our U.S. Attorneys did what they do every day to make America Safe through quick response and vigilance in investigating, disrupting, and dismantling this alleged plan before it could be carried out,” he said.

“We will take immediate and aggressive action to identify and prosecute those who incite and plan acts of violence.”

FBI Director Kash Patel said authorities first became aware of the threat on June 10.

Secret Service Director Sean Curran said threats against the president and other protected officials had risen sharply.

“Protecting the President of the United States and the White House grounds is priority number one for the U.S. Secret Service,” he said.

Around 4,300 guests attended the UFC event, which was staged to celebrate Trump’s 80th birthday.
