Eight men indicted in planned drone and sniper attack on White House UFC show

Eight individuals have been indicted on murder and terrorism conspiracy charges in connection with an alleged plot to attack a UFC event held at the White House in June. The conspirators reportedly planned to use explosive-laden drones and snipers to target high-value individuals, including government officials and public figures, during the "UFC Freedom 250" event. Law enforcement agencies thwarted the plot, which allegedly began in May 2026 with the group accumulating weapons and planning the assault.

Concurrently, Florida's Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) has officially been renamed President Donald J. Trump International Airport, a change that took effect on July 9, 2026. This renaming follows legislation signed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in March of this year. While new signage and branding updates will be implemented in phases, the airport's three-letter airline code is scheduled to transition from PBI to DJT on August 18, 2026.
