The Justice Department announced the arrest of five individuals suspected of planning an attack on a UFC event scheduled at the White House this weekend. Among those detained is a 19-year-old from Ohio, identified in an arrest document as being involved with a group of extremists known for ultra-religious and anti-government ideologies.
This information was detailed by reporter Ali Rogin, who covers the Supreme Court and the U.S. judicial system for the PBS News Hour. Rogin’s reporting has earned her substantial recognition, including a Peabody Award in 2021 for her contributions to a series about the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Her accolades also include two Edward R. Murrow Awards from the Radio Television Digital News Association. Additionally, she has been part of teams nominated for Emmy awards for her coverage on various high-profile events such as the fall of ISIS in 2020, the mass shooting in Las Vegas in 2017, President Barack Obama’s inauguration in 2014, and the 2010 midterm elections.
