The Secret Service is dealing with another security nightmare.
The agency that nearly let Donald Trump get assassinated twice during the 2024 campaign is under fire again.
And the Secret Service just arrested one suspect for this shocking move that sent Washington, DC into lockdown.
Tuesday night proved that the threats against President Trump and the White House aren’t slowing down.
Just three days after adical leftists took to the streets for their "No Kings" protests—where they demonized Trump as a "dictator" and called for resistance—a driver rammed his car straight into a Secret Service barricade at the White House.
At 10:37 p.m., an unidentified suspect drove a 2010 Acura TSX with Maryland plates into the Secret Service vehicle gate located at 17th and E Street Northwest in Washington, D.C.¹
Secret Service Uniformed Division officers immediately arrested the driver.²
A bomb detection robot swept the vehicle for explosives while authorities locked down multiple blocks around the White House complex.³
The car was eventually deemed safe, and officials said there was no further threat to the White House.⁴
But the timing of this incident has law enforcement on high alert.
Secret Service faces escalating pattern of White House threats
This crash comes on the heels of another disturbing security incident just days earlier.
On October 17, Secret Service agents discovered what appeared to be an elevated hunting stand within sight line of Air Force One’s landing zone at Palm Beach International Airport.⁵
FBI Director Kash Patel revealed that federal agents flew in resources to collect evidence from the scene and deployed cell phone analytics capabilities to track down whoever set up the stand.⁶
The hunting stand was positioned with a clear view of where President Trump’s plane touches down in Florida.
Nobody was located at the scene, but the implications are chilling—someone had been scouting the President’s movements and setting up a position to surveil Air Force One.
Now just days later, someone rams a car into the White House barricades hours after the Capitol was flooded with anti-Trump protesters.
The Secret Service has a disturbing track record when it comes to White House security breaches.
In March 2025, agents engaged Andrew Dawson in a shootout near the Eisenhower Executive Office Building after spotting him with weapons near 17th Street Northwest.⁷
But the pattern goes back years.
In 2014, Omar Gonzalez jumped the White House fence with a knife and made it all the way through the North Portico doors, past the main hall, and into the East Room before being apprehended.⁸
That same year, another intruder barely made it onto the lawn before being subdued as he fought off two police dogs.⁹
The agency that’s supposed to be protecting the President has repeatedly failed at the most basic level—keeping threats away from the White House complex.
Radical Left unleashing coordinated campaign of intimidation
These security incidents aren’t happening in a vacuum.
The "No Kings" protests on October 18 saw radical left-wing boomers, and Gen-X and Millennial karens take to the streets in more than 2,700 cities across America.¹⁰
Organized by the radical left-wing Indivisible Project and funded by groups tied to George Soros, these protests portrayed Trump as an authoritarian monarch who needed to be resisted.¹¹
The protests came just weeks after Trump designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization following the assassination of conservative leader Charlie Kirk on September 10.
President Trump has repeatedly warned that the radical left is engaged in a sophisticated campaign of targeted intimidation designed to silence opposing speech and prevent the functioning of a democratic society.
Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Patel are now investigating whether these protests are part of organized networks engaging in domestic terrorism.
Senator Ted Cruz has urged Bondi to prosecute the money behind "these rallies that may well turn into riots" using the RICO Act.¹²
The Trump Administration designated domestic terrorism as a national priority area and ordered the Justice Department to develop grant programs to help law enforcement detect, prevent, and protect against these threats.
House Speaker Mike Johnson called the "No Kings" protests a "hate America rally" filled with Antifa types and pro-Hamas supporters.¹³
The Secret Service refused to identify the suspect who rammed the White House barricade Tuesday night.
But authorities need to determine whether this was an isolated incident or part of a larger pattern of coordinated violence against the Trump Administration.
The radical left has made it clear they view resistance to Trump as a moral imperative.
These people spent three days marching through American cities calling Trump a king and demanding his removal from power.
Then hours later, someone drives a car into the White House security perimeter.
Law enforcement can’t ignore that timing.
President Trump survived two assassination attempts during the 2024 campaign—a sniper’s bullet that grazed his ear and another gunman who was stopped before he could fire.
Now in his second term, the threats haven’t stopped.
They’ve escalated.
The Secret Service needs to figure out who’s behind these attacks before someone succeeds in breaching White House security.
And the Justice Department needs to crack down on the radical left-wing networks that are radicalizing Americans to view political violence as justified resistance.
The safety of the President depends on it.
