Plot and arrests

The Department of Justice announced on June 16 that five men were charged after the FBI says it uncovered a conspiracy tied to the UFC America 250 event on June 14. Officials say they first became aware of the plot on June 10 and carried out raids across several states in the days that followed.

Alleged methods and targets

Court filings allege the group discussed using small explosive-armed drones and deploying snipers to fire on “high value targets” as people evacuated. Chats reportedly included lists of U.S. senators, representatives and business executives, and even referenced power grids as potential targets.
