/2 Congress has charged the United States Secret Service (USSS) with the responsibility to protect many individuals—from the President, Vice President, their immediate families, and former Presidents, to visiting heads of foreign countries and other individuals.
/3 The USSS, which is a component of DHS has no more important role than protecting the life and safety of those individuals whom Congress has designated in need of protection.
Countless agents within the USSS have dedicated their lives and risked their personal safety to advance this vital mission.

/4 However, following the attempted assassination of President Trump on July 13, 2024, public reporting has indicated that requests from components of the USSS for additional resources to fulfill protective missions for protectees—including President Trump—may have been rejected by DHS and USSS leadership.
In particular, this includes requests made by the Special Operations Division of the USSS for additional resources to enhance its critical mission of ensuring the safety and security of all protectees.

/5 The American people deserve to know if such requests were made and rejected anywhere within the broader DHS enterprise.
The American people also deserve to know the extent to which DHS leadership anticipated and prioritized resources for the physical safety and security of all USSS protectees.

/6 Undoubtedly, the agents within the USSS should have the best available equipment and every resource at their disposal to ensure that each one of their protectees–regardless of who they are–remain free from harm.
/7 This is particularly so because the Biden Administration knows how to prioritize resources when it wants to. Since January 20, 2021, DHS has dedicated unprecedented resources to facilitating the mass entry of illegal aliens into the United States.
DHS has spent billions of dollars on releasing illegal aliens into the country, funding nonprofits and NGOs, and otherwise utilizing taxpayer resources to facilitate the entry of illegal aliens into the country. This includes the reassignment of federal law enforcement personnel to facilitate such releases.

/8 The American people deserve to know if DHS and USSS provided the agents on the ground with anything other than the best resources and support possible to ensure the safety of all protectees.
The American people also deserve to know the full extent to which DHS has reallocated and prioritized resources to facilitate the entry of illegal aliens into the United States. And the American people deserve to know how DHS and DOJ responded to the attempted assassination of President Trump.
