One of the Secret Service agents who nearly got President Trump killed by failing to secure the roof used by attempted assassin Thomas Crooks has just been suspended again. This is actually the third time that Agent Myosoty “Miyo” Perez has been suspended from Secret Service within the last year and a half. And, this time, it’s because she hid her marriage to a foreign woman from Brazil for over nine months.

She is on administrative leave and under “Do Not Admit” status while the investigation continues. Congressional investigations that examined the Butler failures faulted Perez for not placing any Secret Service or local police asset on top of the now-notorious sloped roof of the American Glass Building where would-be assassin Thomas Crooks fired off his shots, among other security problems at Butler. Yet Congress 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. 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. THE INVESTIGATION IS LOOKING INTO THE TIMING OF PEREZ’S MARRIAGE TO A FOREIGN NATIONAL AND WHETHER THE WOMAN WAS AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT AT THE TIME OF THE MARRIAGE Perez had informed the Secret Service of her contact with the Brazilian woman in 2024 before the assassination attempt on Trump’s life, but the agency may have either lost the notification or failed to act on it at the time, according to several sources in the Secret Service community. It’s unclear, however, whether Perez characterized the contact accurately in 2024 and ever since. Agents are questioning whether she followed mandatory protocol to keep the Secret Service updated on how the relationship was developing and when the two began to live together and subsequently married. The marriage took place in April 2025, according to the marriage certificate attained on a public records database. I’ll link to the marriage certificate below. Yet sources in the Secret Service community say Perez didn’t inform the agency until January, nine months after the marriage took place. 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. SECRET SERVICE HAS A CHECKERED HISTORY OF COVERING UP OR UNEVENLY DISCIPLINING AGENTS WHO HAVE HAD RELATIONSHIPS WITH FOREIGN NATIONALS, INCLUDING AT LEAST ONE KNOWN RUSSIAN SPY In 2018, news broke that a suspected Russian spy had been working for the Secret Service in the U.S. embassy in Moscow for at least a decade. Dan Bongino @dbongino revealed on his podcast that he had tried to report the spy when he was serving in the embassy before he left the Secret Service in 2011 but was dismissed and told to keep his mouth shut. The same Russian woman was suspected of being involved in an affair with the top Secret Service agent working at the embassy, who had served as the Resident Agent in Charge, or RAC, after Bongino left but several years before her discovery as a spy, multiple sources in the Secret Service community told RCP. The Secret Service and the FBI launched an extensive investigation and suspended the former Secret Service RAC because he couldn’t pass his polygraph when questioned about his relationship with the spy, according to sources familiar with the matter. At the time, the agent in question was the head of the Inspections Division, which oversees disciplinary actions and investigations against all Secret Service employees. The agency allowed this agent to remain on administrative leave until he retired in 2019, a breach of normal disciplinary protocol to benefit an agent and keep the matter out of the press, the sources told RCP.

Agent Perez was one of the agents spotted struggling with her gun after the Butler assassination attempt on President Trump’s life. For reference, here’s a clip from that fateful day: Female Secret Service Agent Struggles to Holster Gun During Trump Assassination Attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania — Jul 13, 2024 In a widely criticized incident, a fat female Secret Service agent struggled to holster her gun during the recent assassination attempt on President… pic.twitter.com/Js6CziIzwK — Raymond Ng (@rayngls) July 13, 2025 Female Secret Service Agent Struggles to Holster Gun During Trump Assassination Attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania — Jul 13, 2024 In a widely criticized incident, a fat female Secret Service agent struggled to holster her gun during the recent assassination attempt on President Donald Trump. The video, which has gone viral, shows the agent fumbling with her firearm while another female agent appears more concerned with adjusting her jacket. This incident has sparked significant backlash, with many questioning the effectiveness and preparedness of the female agents involved in the President’s protection detail. Critics argue that the female agents’ actions during the crisis were erratic and lacked composure, highlighting a broader concern about the readiness of the Secret Service team in high-stakes situations. This event has reignited debates about diversity and inclusion initiatives within the agency, with some claiming that such policies may compromise operational effectiveness. Recall that, not only was President Trump grazed in the ear by a bullet that day, but a heroic father attending the rally was struck and killed — all because of the Secret Service’s failures. Following that incident, Perez was suspended for awhile, and President Trump banned her from ever being on his security detail again. However, she was eventually allowed to return to her job. It’s possible that she kept her marriage to this Brazilian woman a secret because of her “wife’s” immigration status. If that is the case, then she could be in even more trouble for harboring an illegal immigrant. More from Real Clear Politics: 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, is finalizing five reports related to the Secret Service’s failures during the two 2024 assassination attempts against Trump. It’s absolutely insane that this woman was not fired after her egregious failures at the 2024 Butler rally. That was absolutely inexcusable. Why does she still have a job with the Secret Service, again? Not only should she have been fired a long time ago, but we truly need a review of the Secret Service’s vetting process for some of these DEI agents… Here’s how folks are responding to news of Perez’s most recent suspension: So we have some rogue lesbian marrying a foreigner and having already been suspended twice, is still on the force. This is ridiculous! — Bama Chan (@HeardChanda) March 20, 2026 Don’t forget: The previous Secretary Service Lead demanded MORE women within SS. DEI fails again — Rock/Hard Place (@txtarheeldad) March 20, 2026 She needs to go. She’s a security risk. — Jack Clancy
