| Suspect: Ronny Yordrix Guanipa Chrinos |
Washington, D.C., has no shortage of visitors, but an armed illegal immigrant allegedly showing up in a stolen car with three guns and a reported mission to assassinate President Donald Trump is a particularly disturbing addition to the capital's visitor log.
The illegal alien, a Venezuelan national, who allegedly told Secret Service officers that Spanish-speaking voices in his head had directed him to Washington to kill Trump, was arrested Thursday evening near the White House, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
U.S. Secret Service officers approached the suspect after spotting him "acting suspicious in his car while it was parked on Constitution Avenue in Washington, D.C.," DHS told Fox News.
When questioned, the suspect reportedly told officers he had heard voices instructing him to travel to the nation's capital and kill Trump. “Ve a Washington y mata al presidente Trump, por favor,” it politely commanded him.

Things went downhill from there, at least for the suspect. Officers discovered the vehicle had been reported stolen, and he admitted to having weapons inside. One weapon, not a boatload of weapons.
A subsequent search reportedly uncovered three firearms, including an AR-15-style rifle and two handguns, along with dozens of rounds of ammunition. Apparently, the trip to Washington involved considerably more than sightseeing.
The suspect was identified as Ronny Yordrix Guanipa Chrinos, a Venezuelan national who illegally crossed the border into Texas in March 2024. U.S. Border Patrol arrested him at the time, but he was subsequently released into the country under the Biden administration because there was a good chance he would vote blue if he voted at all.
That decision has aged about as well as gas station sushi.
Following Thursday's arrest, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged a detainer against Chrinos with the U.S. Marshals Service, which currently has him in custody.
The Secret Service warned that the incident illustrates the growing threat posed by armed individuals "drawn to the White House complex."
"This is the latest example of Secret Service personnel relying on extensive training and experience to de-escalate a volatile situation that posed an imminent threat to our protectees and other Americans," U.S. Secret Service Director Sean Curran said in a statement.
"While our personnel are trained to respond to situations like this, and we remain confident in our tactics, we are alarmed by the increase in threat cases that continue to arise."
Curran added that the agency would continue to "focus on proactively investigating and identifying individuals" who raise suspicion before they make it to Washington.
DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin also praised the Secret Service for stopping the armed suspect before anyone was hurt.

"This is just an example of the incredible work done by the men and women of the Secret Service every single day as they put their lives on the line to protect our nation’s leaders," Mullin said in a statement.
Chrinos faces an impressive list of charges, including carrying a rifle outside a home or business, three counts of unlawful transportation of a firearm, three counts of possessing an unregistered firearm, three counts of possessing unregistered ammunition, possession of certain dangerous weapons, carrying a pistol without a license, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, theft and receiving stolen property, and a partridge in a pear tree.

In other words, Thursday's alleged assassination plot came with a rather extensive criminal itinerary, one might say.
Unfortunately, the incident is hardly an isolated example of bizarre and potentially dangerous activity around the nation's capital.
Just three months ago, a California resident was discovered near Capitol Hill after driving cross-country with an operational 10-foot guillotine in his pickup truck. The man was identified as Philan-Tam-Duy Le.
In two other incidents, suspects rammed vehicles into security barricades near the White House, one in March 2026 and another in October 2025.
President Trump has spent years warning about the consequences of an unsecured border. Now, the Secret Service is dealing with an alleged armed assassin who entered the country illegally, was released under Biden, and reportedly arrived in Washington after hearing voices telling him to kill the president.
The Secret Service deserves credit for stopping him. But Americans have every reason to ask how many more people with criminal intentions were given the opportunity to enter and remain in the country under the previous administration.
And now we must wonder what's going to happen after the results of the midterm elections. Go left, young man, go left.
