This market will resolve to "Yes" if the listed individual is arrested by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". A qualifying arrest/detention includes: * Being taken into physical custody by law enforcement authorities (including federal, state, local, military, or international law enforcement) * Voluntarily surrendering to law enforcement authorities in response to an arrest warrant * Being formally booked or processed following detention * Being handcuffed by a state authority and taken to a police station * Surrendering at a police station or courthouse with their attorney * Being placed under house arrest or electronic monitoring The following scenarios will NOT qualify as an arrest/detention * An arrest warrant being issued but not executed * Being briefly detained but not arrested (e.g. such as in the South Korean judicial system when an individual is awaiting a judge’s decision on whether to grant a detention warrant) * Being questioned or interviewed without arrest * Being named in an indictment without arrest The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the arresting government and law enforcement, however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.**Trader consensus in the "Who will be arrested before 2027?" Polymarket assigns the highest probabilities to John Brennan (around 30%) and figures such as Mahmoud Khalil or Anthony Fauci, with most other listed individuals below 20%.** These odds reflect ongoing congressional scrutiny, potential DOJ investigations into prior intelligence and public health matters, and enforcement patterns against activists or officials tied to past protests and policy decisions. Recent 2026 developments, including Senate appearances by former officials and court rulings on immigration-related detentions, have sustained focus on a small set of names without producing qualifying arrests to date. Broader enforcement actions against demonstrators and local officials illustrate active use of federal tools, yet the market prices remain low overall due to the short remaining window through December 31, 2026, and the high bar for arresting prominent former officeholders. No major new indictments directly tied to the listed individuals have shifted probabilities substantially in recent weeks.
