On the evening of October 28, 2025, at approximately 7:38 PM, law enforcement officials from the El Paso Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) collaborated on a traffic stop at 620 W. Main Street. The driver, identified as Derek Lopez of El Paso, was wanted on a federal warrant for making threats against the President. Lopez was apprehended without resistance and subsequently transported to the El Paso Police Department, where he was questioned by FBI and Secret Service agents. Following the interview, Lopez was taken to the Woodford County Jail, where he was booked and placed under federal detention. Woodford County Animal Control also assisted at the time Lopez was taken into custody, due to his dog being in the car with him.
