DOJ gunakan dugaan rencana serangan di acara UFC sebagai alasan pembangunan ruang dansa Gedung Putih

Departemen Kehakiman telah mengajukan argumen yang mengaitkan dugaan rencana serangan baru-baru ini di sebuah acara UFC di Gedung Putih dengan perlunya membangun ruang dansa baru di kediaman eksekutif tersebut. Pengajuan ini muncul di tengah tantangan hukum yang sedang berlangsung terhadap proyek tersebut.

DOJ menyatakan bahwa penangkapan lima pria atas tuduhan konspirasi menunjukkan perlunya struktur tersebut demi keamanan nasional. Para pria itu diduga berencana menggunakan drone peledak pada acara UFC Freedom 250 akhir pekan lalu sebelum menargetkan para pejabat dengan penembak jitu saat kerumunan massa melarikan diri.

Menurut dokumen setebal dua halaman tersebut, ruang dansa itu akan mencakup fitur-fitur seperti pelabuhan drone, sarang penembak jitu, kolom tahan rudal, dan kaca anti peluru. Para pejabat menggambarkannya sebagai sesuatu yang penting untuk melindungi presiden, presiden masa depan, staf, dan tamu dari serangan.

Proyek ini telah menghadapi pemeriksaan pengadilan sejak pembongkaran Sayap Timur dimulai. Seorang hakim federal memblokir upaya tersebut pada bulan April karena masalah keamanan, dan pemerintah kini mengajukan banding atas keputusan tersebut ke Pengadilan Banding AS untuk Sirkuit Distrik Columbia.

Trump mengatakan donatur pribadi akan mendanai pekerjaan tersebut. Catatan yang ditinjau oleh The Washington Post menunjukkan total biaya akan mencapai $600 juta, dengan lebih dari setengahnya ditanggung oleh pembayar pajak.
