The Secret Service agent who was in charge of developing and executing the failed security plan for the 2024 rally where President Trump was nearly killed has been suspended and is under internal agency investigation for allegedly improperly reporting her relationship with and eventual marriage to a foreign national, several sources told RealClearPolitics.

This suspension is the third one in a year and a half for the agent, Myosoty “Miyo” Perez, who served as the “site agent” for the Butler campaign rally where a would-be assassin shot Trump’s ear, killed retired firefighter Corey Comperatore, and seriously injured two others in the crowd.

A site agent is in charge of planning and executing the security plan for rallies and other events that presidential and vice-presidential candidates, as well as presidents and vice presidents along with Cabinet officials attend. Others, such as the lead agent and counterparts from local field offices, as well as supervisors, also usually contribute.  

Congressional investigations that examined the Butler failures faulted Perez for not placing any Secret Service or local police asset on top of the American Glass Building where would-be assassin Thomas Crooks fired off his shots, among other security problems at Butler. Yet the probes also questioned why the Secret Service allowed an inexperienced agent to be placed in such a crucial role at an outdoor rally with thousands of people in attendance. The decision to have Perez in a leading security role for the Butler rally is even more concerning considering that top-level Secret Service officials, including current Secret Service Director Sean Curran who was serving as the Trump campaign detail leader at the time, had been briefed on an Iranian threat to Trump’s life.  

Over the last year and a half in wake of the assassination attempts, Perez has remained an agent, though she has faced ongoing leadership scrutiny. She was supposed to be sidelined from protective duties and working on criminal investigations only, although Secret Service supervisors in the Miami Field Office, where she works, recently allowed her to violate an understanding with others in the Trump administration that she wouldn’t serve in a physical security role.

Despite the ongoing congressional investigations and internal Secret Service review of her role in the Butler failures, Perez quietly married a Brazilian foreign national last April without notifying the agency, according to a copy of her marriage certificate located on the Brevard County public records website and according to sources familiar with the timing of when she informed the agency of her marriage. Upon learning of the marriage, the agency suspended her and issued an internal “Do Not Admit” notice.

The internal Secret Service investigation is examining whether the woman Perez was dating and married last year had overstayed her visa and was facing a deportation order, multiple sources familiar with the matter told RCP.

Neither the Secret Service nor the Homeland Security Department returned repeated requests for comment on the matter. Perez’s attorney, Larry Berger, told RCP that it’s “premature to comment at this time.”

The new allegations against Perez come as the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General, which provides congressionally mandated oversight of DHS and all 22 agencies that fall under it including the Secret Service, are finalizing five reports related to the Secret Service’s failures during the two 2024 assassination attempts against Trump.

The DHS funding lapse has further delayed the reports’ release, though all are in the final investigative stages, according to sources familiar with........
