United States Secret Service officers reportedly arrested an illegal migrant outside the White House on Thursday after he was allegedly found inside a stolen vehicle carrying multiple firearms and threatening to kill President Donald Trump.

The officers approached the suspect Thursday evening after spotting him "acting suspicious in his car while it was parked on Constitution Avenue in Washington, D.C.," the Department of Homeland Security told Fox News.

The officers said the unidentified migrant, who was originally from Venezuela, told them he heard voices in his head that told him to travel to Washington, D.C., and kill the president.

The migrant was found with three firearms, including an AR-15-style rifle and two handguns, along with dozens of rounds of ammunition, the outlet reported.
