President Trump takes bold action against Biden-era officials amid rising concerns over national security and border chaos
In a decisive move sure to energize his base, President Donald Trump has officially ended Secret Service protection for former Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, a key figure behind the Biden administration’s widely criticized open-border agenda.
Mayorkas Loses Taxpayer-Funded Security Detail After Trump Steps In
Mayorkas had been granted an extended security detail by President Joe Biden, expected to last until mid-July, despite growing backlash over the border crisis. That changed swiftly this week when President Trump exercised his authority to pull the plug on the expensive taxpayer-funded protection.
“Per executive memorandum of the President, the protective detail for former Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has been discontinued,” a Secret Service spokesperson confirmed Monday.
Trump Sends a Clear Message on Accountability
This decision is part of a broader effort by Trump to rein in unjustified perks for controversial officials from the Biden era. Over the past two weeks, several high-profile figures have lost their Secret Service details, including:
- Hunter Biden, the president’s scandal-plagued son
- Ashley Biden, the president’s daughter
Trump has also previously removed protection for his former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and National Security Adviser John Bolton, despite real threats from foreign adversaries like Iran.
Truth Social Post Hints at More to Come
On Monday, President Trump shared a headline on Truth Social highlighting the revocation of Mayorkas’ protection—signaling that more removals may be on the horizon for officials who, in his view, put America last.
Conservatives Applaud Trump’s No-Nonsense Approach
For many across the country—especially older, law-abiding Americans concerned with border security, fiscal responsibility, and restoring accountability in government—Trump’s actions are a welcome return to leadership.
While liberal media outlets scramble to frame the move as political, everyday Americans are asking a simple question: Why should failed officials get lifetime perks on the taxpayer’s dime?
