Overview

  • Anthony Thomas Reyes, 23, was arrested shortly after midnight on June 3 after scaling the wall of Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida.
  • Reyes told law enforcement that he climbed the wall to preach the gospel to former President Trump and to seek marriage with Trump’s granddaughter, 18-year-old Kai Trump.
  • He had previously been removed from the property on December 31, 2024, marking a repeat trespass attempt at the estate.
  • Palm Beach court records show Reyes faces misdemeanor trespassing charges, is held on a $50,000 bond and is barred from contacting Trump family members.
  • The breach highlights ongoing security gaps at Mar-a-Lago, which has seen expanded Secret Service protection since July 2024 following an assassination attempt on Trump.
