Douglas County Sheriff Aaron Hanson said Friday that an Omaha man accused of helping organize an alleged attack plot against a White House UFC event should not have been in the United States, bringing immigration enforcement back into focus in a federal case involving five arrests.
Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez, 31, of Omaha, Nebraska, was identified in federal filings as an alleged organizer of a plot targeting UFC Freedom 250, held June 14 on the White House grounds in Washington, D.C. President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and other public figures attended the event.
