The president has also ended Secret Service protection for Hunter Biden and Ashley Biden, the children of the former president.
Former Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas will no longer receive Secret Service protection after President Donald Trump revoked his security detail, the agency confirmed on Monday. The decision comes months before the protection was originally set to expire, reports The Washington Post.
Mayorkas, who served under President Joe Biden, was not automatically entitled to protection after leaving office in January. However, Biden had extended his security detail for six months, which would have lasted until mid-July. Trump’s decision to terminate the protection cut that timeline short.
The president has also ended Secret Service protection for Hunter Biden and Ashley Biden, the children of the former president.
Their protection officially ceased on Monday, just one week after Trump publicly announced his decision on Truth Social.
“Former Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Mr. Hunter and Ms. Ashley Biden and their families are no longer protectees of the United States Secret Service,” agency spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement.
According to internal records, the Secret Service was notified of the decision on Friday.
