Secret Service arrests man near White House after he said he heard voices telling him to kill Trump

The US Secret Service has arrested an individual near the White House, charging him with threats against President Donald Trump. The incident occurred on Thursday night when officers approached a man in a suspicious vehicle. Ronny Yordrix Guanipa Chrinos, described as a migrant from Venezuela residing illegally in the US, confessed to hearing voices in his head instructing him to kill the president.

Following his arrest, law enforcement discovered that his vehicle had been reported stolen, containing three firearms and an extensive supply of ammunition. Chrinos is currently in the custody of the US Marshals Service. This arrest underscores a pattern of Secret Service and other law enforcement actions against those threatening Trump and his family since his re-election last year.

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin praised the officers involved, stating that their actions prevented potential harm to the president. Three Secret Service officials were also placed on administrative leave connected to this incident.
