Three different firearms and several dozen cartridges were recovered from a vehicle parked near the White House on the night of November 5, 2026. The discovery occurred when Secret Service agents approached a driver who exhibited suspicious behavior. The suspect, identified as Ronny Yordrix Guanipa Chrinos, told officers he had heard voices in his head instructing him to travel to Washington to kill President Donald Trump.
The car Guanipa Chrinos occupied had been reported stolen. Agents searched the vehicle and located the three guns along with the large quantity of ammunition. This find elevated the severity of the incident beyond a standard perimeter breach. Markwayne Mullin, the Secretary of Homeland Security, thanked the agents for their swift intervention during the stop.
Homeland Security records indicate that Guanipa Chrinos is a Venezuelan immigrant. He entered the United States through Texas in March 2024 without legal authorization. He now faces multiple federal charges. These include possession and illegal transport of firearms, carrying a rifle outside his home or business, and transporting guns without permission. Additional counts include holding unregistered weapons, carrying a pistol without a license, possessing certain dangerous arms, and using a motorized vehicle without authority. He is also charged with theft and possessing stolen goods.
The arrest marks the latest in a series of incidents involving alleged threats against the president and his family since his return to office last year. While no public registry lists the exact number of death threats directed specifically at Trump in 2026, the Secret Service stated it has investigated approximately 10,000 threats against individuals under its protection this year. That total includes threats against the president but is not limited to him. Guanipa Chrinos remains in custody while Immigration and Customs Enforcement has issued a migratory detention order to the U.S. Marshals Service.
