The incident occurred shortly after midnight on Monday night. The police received a report regarding an intrusion on Trump's property. Before the officers' arrival, the trespasser was apprehended by Secret Service agents.

Immediately following the arrest, the 23-year-old declared that he entered the estate to "preach the gospel" to Trump and to "marry Kai," the president's 18-year-old granddaughter.

This is not the first time the 23-year-old has attempted to access Mar-a-Lago. The Texas man also trespassed on the property in December.

He was briefly incarcerated in Palm Beach at that time. Furthermore, he was issued a restraining order, prohibiting contact with Trump and his family, including Kai Trump.
