Top Trump officials, including FBI Assistant Director Dan Bongino and border czar Tom Homan, are receiving round-the-clock security due to threats fueled by harsh rhetoric from Democratic politicians and left-wing media.
Homan’s protection costs nearly $1 million per month, with about 30 DHS agents rotating to guard him. The FBI has also assembled a 20-agent team to protect Bongino — the first deputy director to receive such coverage — amid criticism about the cost and necessity of these details.
Officials cite rising threats and doxxing incidents as justification. DHS and the FBI say these measures are essential to protect high-profile figures amid heightened political tensions.
