Overview

• Homeland Security classified the service as SEAR 1, prompting extensive screening, a ban on bags and other items, and a large Secret Service–led deployment as police track threats of unknown credibility.
• On Friday, Joshua Runkles, 42, was detained near the stadium for impersonating a police officer while armed and later released on bail, with authorities saying he had been providing private security for an invited influencer without proper coordination.
• Turning Point USA is organizing the event, and Erika Kirk, the new leader of the group following her husband’s killing, is expected to address mourners.
• Suspect Tyler Robinson, 22, has been charged and faces prosecutors seeking the death penalty as investigators cite a pre-attack text, while the case has driven partisan and media clashes including ABC’s suspension of Jimmy Kimmel after his remarks and threats of FCC action from Brendan Carr.
