What a former member of the Secret Service says about Palm Beach security for Trump

PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. — WPTV has been reporting on what security changes will occur in Palm Beach County following the election of Donald Trump as the 47th president of the United States.

Following the arrest of Zigie Li, a California man who Palm Beach police say invaded Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home on Friday, WPTV wants to know what security measures authorities will take to keep Trump safe during his second term. as president.

Former Secret Service member Timothy Miller, who was active during the presidencies of the 1990s and 2000s, explained to WPTV why he believes Trump is entering an even more dangerous environment than when he took office in 2016.

“We’re dealing with state-sponsored assassination plots, and that’s a big change in how the Secret Service protects all of our protectees,” Miller said.

This year, Trump has survived two assassination attempts, including one in Palm Beach County, and the Justice Department announced Friday that it will charge three people in an Iranian murder-for-hire plot against the president-elect.

According to Miller, the Secret Service will monitor social media, monitor known criminals and increase patrols whenever Trump leaves the White House.

Visitors to Palm Beach can expect to see plenty of security ahead, like Richard Steele, who was visiting from Houston, Texas, this week.

“I was expecting security, but this is a lot,” Steele said.

The Palm Beach Police Department, Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office and the Secret Service will meet later this month to discuss all security precautions that will need to be taken once he takes office.
