   A California man driving cross-country to the White House on a mission to   
   “do whatever it takes” to kill top officials on a “hit list” that included   
   President Biden and former President Barack Obama has been arrested in   
   Iowa, the authorities said in court papers.   
      
   The man, Kuachua Brillion Xiong, 25, has been held since Dec. 23 at the   
   Pottawattamie County Jail in Council Bluffs, Iowa, on charges of making   
   threats against a former president, according to sheriff’s records.   
      
   Mr. Xiong began driving from his home near Sacramento on or around Dec. 18   
   “with the intention of driving straight to the White House in Washington,   
   D.C., to kill persons in power,” Justin Larson, a Secret Service agent,   
   wrote in a criminal complaint.   
      
   Mr. Xiong made it as far as Iowa. On Dec. 21, he was pulled over by a   
   sergeant with the Cass County Sheriff’s Department “for driving   
   aggressively, weaving in and out of traffic, and speeding,” according to   
   the complaint. Officers who detained him noted that he was using Google   
   Maps to map a route to 1600 Pennsylvania NW, Washington, D.C.   
      
   When the sergeant, Tyler Shiels, searched the car, he found an AR-15-style   
   rifle, ammunition, loaded magazines, body armor and medical kits,   
   according to the complaint.   
      
   Mr. Xiong told investigators that if he had not been pulled over, he would   
   have continued traveling as part of his plan, which he said was a mission   
   from God to “combat evil demons in the White House.” Mr. Xiong told   
   investigators that he “believes that he is the only person remaining who   
   can free the United States of evil.”   
      
   According to the criminal complaint, which was filed in Federal District   
   Court for the Southern District of Iowa, Mr. Xiong assembled his hit list   
   using the popular app TikTok, downloading videos “to compile a list of   
   evil individuals he intended to kill.”   
      
   The list included over 100 videos and targeted — in addition to Mr. Biden   
   and Mr. Obama — former President Bill Clinton; Dr. Anthony Fauci, the   
   country’s foremost infectious-disease specialist; and Mark Zuckerberg,   
   chief executive of Meta, the social media giant previously known as   
   Facebook. Mr. Xiong said he would kill Mr. Biden only if he did not comply   
   with Mr. Xiong’s demands, which were not specified in the complaint.   
      
   During the interview with officials, Mr. Xiong was adamant that if   
   released from custody he would not return home to California to see his   
   family and but would “do whatever it takes” to complete his plan. “He   
   plans on dying while fighting evil demons at the White House,” Mr. Larson   
   wrote.   
      
   In an email on Thursday, Mike Maloney, a lawyer for Mr. Xiong, declined to   
   comment on the case.   
      
   According to court records, Mr. Maloney has signaled his intent to use an   
   insanity defense in his client’s trial.
