The concern is that the wife had overstayed her visa and would have been facing a deportation order.
Secret Service Agent Miyo Perez was faulted for failures at the Butler, PA rally in July 2024 where President Donald Trump was nearly assassinated, and six agents were suspended. Now, Perez has been suspended over allegations that she married a Brazilian woman in 2024, prior to that assassination attempt. The allegations against her are of "improperly reporting her relationship with and eventual marriage to a foreign national."
Perez, noted Susan Crabtree, "had informed the Secret Service of her contact with the Brazilian woman in 2024 before the assassination attempt on Trump’s life, but the agency may have either lost the notification or failed to act on it at the time, according to several sources in the Secret Service community." It is now being questioned by the Secret Service as to whether she followed the proper, mandatory protocol in keeping the agency apprised of her relationship.
The two were living together prior to their April 2025 marriage. Perez, say Crabtree's sources in the Secret Service community, didn't let the Secret Service know about the marriage until nine months after the marriage took place. The concern is that the wife had overstayed her visa and would have been facing a deportation order.
Perez had been faulted for "not placing any Secret Service or local police asset on top of the now-notorious sloped roof of the American Glass Building where would-be assassin Thomas Crooks fired off his shots, among other security problems at Butler," Crabtree reports.

She was an inexperienced agent, which led Congress to question why she was placed in such a key position of protecting the president during the Butler rally. She was suspended after the assassination attempt and had been part of the advance team to secure the site ahead of the rally. She was suspended three times in a little over a year.
