Federal marshals are protecting Education Secretary Betsy DeVos at a cost to her agency of nearly $8 million over nearly eight months, according to the U.S. Marshals Service.
The Education Department has agreed to reimburse the marshals $7.78 million for their services from mid-February to the end of September, said a marshals spokeswoman an average of about $1 million per month.
Marshals will continue providing security for the education secretary for the next four years, or until either agency decides to terminate the arrangement, under an agreement signed last week. There was no information immediately available about what that would cost beyond September. DeVos is the only Cabinet secretary under the protection of the marshals, law enforcement officers who are generally responsible for protecting federal judges, transporting prisoners, apprehending fugitives and protecting witnesses. They also guard the deputy attorney general and Supreme Court justices when they travel.

Precisely.
Too bad the Democrats and Congressional Black Caucus are not solely charged for this ridiculous over the top amount of money being charged to tax payers.
Dear Post:
If you would tell your little pissant anarchists to quit attacking her you might see it go down
Can the rioters and agitators be sued or should we fine and ja[l the?
The Teacher’s unions must be terrified of her.
No doubt the teachers unions want her dead!
What did Valerie Jarrett’s unprecedented security detail cost? Never a peep from these hypocrites about that.
Solution is to start arresting and steep fines for the harassers.
uhh......she’s only been Education Secretary for around two months.
More win!
Yes, I have a feeling the whole resistance movement could be stopped with a couple phone calls, but they would never admit that.
How much does it cost the U.S. to maintain security for Obama? How much did it cost them to protect him on vacay in polynesia?
How much will it cost per year? How much does he get per yr for retirement?
These are the costs that people should worry about.
and Pelosi’s jet plane trips to SF every weekend....
Doesn’t this seem like an extremely high amount? What on earth are they doing to protect her that costs that amount?
Why the security detail? Hatred, sheer hatred, generated from the Leftists and abetted by Democrats, particularly Democrat Senators. The disease of viral hatred used to be more limited among Democrats, but now the majority seems to be infected.

Great comment!
If De Vos stays in the position for another 4,000 months it might be the rough equivalent of what zerobama gave to Iran. Although he probably gave them much more and simply didn’t disclose it.
Did lefties complain about the cost of that?
Washington Post: Nicole Simpson makes numerous expensive calls to the LAPD.
Duya think that just maybe/possibly,the folks that the gov is worried bout are the enemies of her brother ? Lotsa folks hold him in very low esteem....(I am not one)
it is not her fault. Remove the threats and she won’t need a security detail It is a sad state of affairs when the woman can’t do her job in peace.
