Trump Ends Secret Service Protection for Ex-DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas
The decision, confirmed by the Secret Service, follows similar revocations for Hunter and Ashley Biden, raising concerns over security for high-profile figures.
- President Donald Trump has revoked Secret Service protection for former DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, effective March 24, 2025.
- The Secret Service confirmed the termination, citing an executive memorandum issued by Trump.
- Mayorkas' protection had been extended for six months by former President Joe Biden and was set to expire in mid-July 2025 before Trump's decision.
- This move follows Trump's earlier revocation of Secret Service protection for Hunter and Ashley Biden, announced as a cost-saving measure.
- Critics have raised concerns about the potential risks posed to individuals losing protection, particularly in politically charged contexts.
