Secret Service shot and killed an armed man who breached the security perimeter of the president's Florida estate early Sunday.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt reacted to the incident in a post on X, where she accused Democrats of endangering people with their decision to block funding for the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the Secret Service.

White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller echoed Leavitt’s attitude in an X post, where he said, “Never before in history has federal law enforcement been purposefully defunded.”
