The bill was first introduced following the first assassination attempt in July by Reps. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., and Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y. Speaker Johnson said earlier this week the House would take this step and it was just approved by unanimous consent. In addition to counter assault, counter surveillance, counter sniper, protective intelligence and drone teams for Trump, an agency official says the security plan at Mar-a-Lago now includes emergency tactical response functions and a protective platoon from Palm Beach County.
He also praised DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas “ whose support in making sure that we're getting what we need has been phenomenal.”
