Joe Biden may have left office, but his disasters are still hanging around like a bad cold. Open borders, sky-high inflation, rampant crime—it’s like America got hit by a wrecking ball, and the guy driving it was asleep at the wheel. But President Donald Trump isn’t just cleaning up the mess; he’s making sure the people responsible don’t get a taxpayer-funded retirement plan while they fade into the shadows.
This week, Trump took a major step toward restoring accountability: he ended the gravy train for some of Biden’s worst enablers. No more cushy perks, no more undeserved protection.
The era of blank checks and zero consequences is over. And the first name on the chopping block? None other than the man who arguably did more damage to national security than anyone in recent memory—Alejandro Mayorkas.
From The Washington Post:
President Donald Trump revoked Secret Service protection for former homeland security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, the Secret Service said Monday, terminating his detail several months before it was set to expire.“Former Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Mr. Hunter and Ms. Ashley Biden and their families are no longer protectees of the United States Secret Service,” Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in an email Monday.
“No Protection for the Border Wrecker”
On Monday, the Secret Service confirmed that Trump revoked protection for Mayorkas, Biden’s former Homeland Security Secretary and the architect of the border crisis. Biden had extended Mayorkas’s detail through mid-July, giving him a few more months of top-tier security on the taxpayers’ dime. Trump said nope. Done. Over. Out.
Let’s be real: Mayorkas wasn’t just asleep at the border—he practically left the front door open, turned on the porch light, and handed out welcome packets. Under his watch, millions of illegal immigrants poured into the country, including violent criminals, traffickers, and cartel members. He didn’t just fail at his job—he actively made America less safe. Why should he get armed guards when so many Americans lost their sense of safety thanks to his policies?
Hunter, Ashley… and the Family Discount Is Over
Mayorkas wasn’t the only one getting the boot. Trump also ended Secret Service protection for Hunter and Ashley Biden, whose detail Biden had quietly extended after leaving office. Why? Because nothing screams “normal post-presidency behavior” like flying your adult children around the world with a federal escort. After complaints about Hunter’s taxpayer-funded jaunt to South Africa, Trump pulled the plug. And just like that, another free ride is over.
The move is part of a larger pattern. Earlier this year, Trump ended protection for John Bolton, another former official Biden had kept under the Secret Service umbrella. Trump’s message is clear: if you sold out the country, don’t expect it to keep covering your security bill.
The Grown-Ups Are Back in Charge
Trump’s actions may seem harsh to some, but this is what accountability looks like. For too long, bureaucrats and political insiders have made catastrophic decisions and walked away with book deals, speaking tours, and—yes—personal security funded by you. Trump’s not just cleaning house; he’s changing the locks.
If you turned America into a mess, don’t expect her to keep protecting you. Mayorkas gambled with national security and lost. Now, he can call Uber like the rest of us.
Key Takeaways:
- Trump revoked Secret Service protection for Alejandro Mayorkas, holding him accountable for the border crisis.
- Protection for Hunter and Ashley Biden also ended after backlash over their taxpayer-funded travel.
- The move signals an end to perks for officials who helped Biden dismantle American security.
