Dallas man arrested in D.C. wanted to 'kill all white police' at White House, Secret Service says

A Dallas man was arrested near the White House on Monday after authorities say he traveled to Washington with the intent of killing "all white police" at the executive mansion.

Police in Montgomery County, Md., had alerted authorities Monday afternoon to look for 37-year-old Michael Arega, the Secret Service said.

Secret Service officers spotted Arega on Pennsylvania Avenue, near Lafayette Park. He was detained and arrested without incident.

A Facebook page that appears to be Arega's showed him checking in to the White House on Monday afternoon. He previously posted that he was going there to "kill all white police" and said that President Donald Trump should be put in jail.
