Trump Ends Secret Service Protection for Former DHS Chief Alejandro Mayorkas

The decision follows earlier revocations of security details for Hunter and Ashley Biden, fueling concerns over presidential discretion and political motivations.

President Donald Trump has officially revoked Secret Service protection for former DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, effective Monday, March 24, 2025.
The Secret Service confirmed compliance with the directive, citing an executive memorandum from the president.
This move comes shortly after Trump terminated Secret Service protection for Hunter and Ashley Biden, the adult children of former President Joe Biden.
Critics have raised concerns about the potential political motivations behind these actions, which align with a broader pattern of targeting perceived adversaries.
Under federal law, former presidents and their spouses receive lifelong Secret Service protection, but protections for children over 16 are discretionary and were extended by both Trump and Biden during their presidencies.
