Man arrested for trespassing at Mar-a-Lago while trying to marry Trump's granddaughter

In the early hours of June 4, 2025, a 23-year-old man named Anthony Thomas Reyes from Texas was arrested for trespassing at the Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. Reyes allegedly climbed over the perimeter wall of the property in an attempt to gain access to the president's estate. Upon apprehension, he informed the police that his intentions were to 'spread the gospel' and marry Kai Madison Trump, the president's 18-year-old granddaughter. The incident triggered alarm systems shortly after midnight, prompting a swift response from the U.S. Secret Service. Notably, then-President Donald Trump was not present at Mar-a-Lago during the incident, as he was in Washington at that time. The incident marked yet another instance of attempted trespassing at the high-profile estate, underscoring ongoing security concerns surrounding the Trump family and their residences. Following the arrest, Reyes was charged with misdemeanor trespassing and was held at Palm Beach County Jail with a bond set at $50,000. He pleaded not guilty to the charges. This event follows a recent spate of security breaches at Mar-a-Lago, including previous attempts to trespass by other individuals, raising alarms about the estate's security measures. In the wake of an assassination attempt on Trump during a campaign rally the previous year, a security zone had already been established around the estate. The police report also indicated that Reyes had attempted a similar trespassing act on New Year's Eve of the same year, revealing a disturbing pattern of intrusive behavior. Authorities have since ordered Reyes to have no contact with Trump, Kai Trump, or members of their family, as concerns for their safety remain paramount.
