Overview

• Anthony Thomas Reyes, 23, climbed Mar-a-Lago’s perimeter wall just after midnight on June 3 and was detained by Secret Service agents before being charged by local police with misdemeanor trespassing.
• Reyes told investigators he wanted to 'spread the gospel' to former President Trump and marry his 18-year-old granddaughter, Kai Trump, who was vacationing in the Bahamas at the time.
• He pleaded not guilty at his initial court appearance and remains jailed at Palm Beach County on a $50,000 bond under orders barring any contact with the Trump family or their properties.
• This incident marks Reyes’s second intrusion attempt after a New Year’s Eve trespass warning in 2024, prompting renewed scrutiny of security at the federally protected estate.
• President Trump, in Washington, was briefed on the breach as authorities prepare for Reyes’s next court date on June 30.
