A Texas man was arrested Tuesday for allegedly trespassing on President Donald Trump’s Palm Beach club, according to an arrest report obtained by NBC News.
Palm Beach Police Department said they responded at the Mar-a-Lago resort shortly after midnight, and were met by Secret Service agents who had detained Anthony Reyes, 23, who said that he had climbed a wall surrounding the property to “spread the gospel” to Trump, and “marry Kai.”
Kai Trump is the president’s 18-year-old granddaughter and the eldest daughter of Donald Trump Jr.
Secret Service said they found Reyes on the property, and that he told them “he had jumped over the wall to get into property,” according to the arrest report. Reyes had not been permitted to enter the protected site, police said. He was previously arrested for allegedly trespassing on the property on New Year’s Eve last year, the police report said.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Tuesday.
Reyes was booked at the Palm Beach County Jail with a bond set for $50,000 with a series of conditions, including no contact with Trump or any of his family members (including Kai Trump), court records show. He pleaded not guilty.
In July 2024, Mar-a-Lago became a federally protected area by the Secret Service after a gunman opened fire on a Trump campaign rally earlier that month in an attempted assassination.
Tuesday’s arrest was not the first time that Trump’s Florida property has been targeted.
A Florida man was accused last fall of trying to assassinate Trump at his golf course in West Palm Beach. Ryan Routh faces federal and state charges for the alleged plot.
Warren Jones Crazybull of Idaho was also charged with making phone calls to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, threatening to kill him.
