Ronny Guanipa-Chrinos arrested near White House with firearms

The U.S. Secret Service arrested Ronny Yordrix Guanipa Chrinos, a Venezuelan national, near the White House on a Thursday night after spotting him acting suspiciously in a parked vehicle on Constitution Avenue.

Authorities reported that Chrinos was in a stolen blue Ford F-150 containing an AR-15 style rifle, a MAC-10 machine pistol, a Glock 43X pistol, and dozens of rounds of ammunition. During the encounter, Chrinos allegedly told officers through Google Translate that he heard voices in his head instructing him to travel to Washington, D.C., to assassinate President Donald Trump.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, Chrinos entered the United States illegally through Texas in March 2024 and was subsequently released under the Biden administration. He has been charged with multiple offenses, including unauthorized use of a vehicle, receiving stolen property, and various firearms violations. He remains in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service following an ICE detainer.
