To kill or arrest Valor Buchanan there are different ways.
Mother Nancy says she will let go of Valor if you help her. You can collaborate with the Godfishers to crush the Gippers or You can assault the Gippers all alone and take Valor forcibly.
You will return to your primary mission which is the zealot after you decide what to do with Reagan AI.
On the off chance that you decided to move Reagan to the Machine Commune, you’ll need to battle the Gippers to capture Valor.
Until all Gippers are killed, you can’t call a group to carry Valor to the Ranger HQ jail.

You might have to fight the Statue of Reagan as well. Which might be stronger if you chose to upgrade it previously.
You are safe while you are inside the White House. Use Kodiak to take down your enemies and The Statue nearby.
