(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today it received 311 pages of U.S. Secret Service (USSS) records that show the Secret Service has made it a top priority that “diversity and inclusion is not just ‘talked about’ – but demonstrated by all employees through ‘Every Action, Every Day.’” [Emphasis in original]
The records show the Secret Service, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), demands that 12 percent of its workforce be composed of “persons with disabilities,” and that it is the policy of the Secret Service to provide equal employment opportunity without regard to such non-merit factors as “disability (physical or mental).”
Judicial Watch obtained the records in a FOIA lawsuit against DHS for records relating to an incident in April at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland in which a Secret Service agent assigned to protect Vice President Kamala Harris got into a scuffle with colleagues (Judicial Watch v. Department of Homeland Security (No. 1:24-cv-01705)).
According to an April 24 report by the Washington Examiner, a Secret Service agent was removed from her duties after physically attacking the commanding agent in charge and other agents who tried to subdue her.
A later report states: “The agents involved in restraining [Michelle] Herczeg were especially concerned because she still had her gun in the holster. They wrestled her to the ground, took the gun from her, cuffed her, and then removed her from the terminal.” The report also states that, following the incident at Joint Base Andrews, which is the home base for Air Force One and Air Force Two. “Secret Service agents and officers are privately questioning the hiring process and whether the agency had adequately screened Herczeg’s background.”
The newly obtained records include an undated document titled “Secret Service Inclusion and Engagement Council Charter: Changing the Game of Diversity and Inclusion,” in which the Secret Service puts forth a strategy for the council and establishes an “SES-level Executive Champion for Inclusion and Engagement:
The IEC’s collective duty is to help the Secret Service build, foster, create, and inspire a workforce where diversity and inclusion is not just “talked about” — but demonstrated by all employees through “Every Action, Every Day.” [Emphasis in original]
The document notes that the Secret Service’s Inclusion and Engagement Council “will not rely solely on the legal requirements underscoring the principles of EEO and the voluntary initiatives in Diversity programs; rather, the IEC will seek innovative solutions outside the agency’s mandated requirements to create a culture where differences are valued and appreciated, and employee engagement is encouraged.”
The “Inclusive Diversity Vision Statement” instructs: “To be the employer of choice and ‘gold standard’ for leveraging inclusive diversity by modeling the qualities of mutual respect, admiration, and appreciation for cultural differences and varying perspectives.”
A document dated fiscal year (FY) 2023 and titled “Affirmative Action Plan for the Recruitment, Hiring, Advancement, and Retention of Persons with Disabilities” states that the Secret Service should have a “numerical goal” to have “persons with disabilities” (PWDs) make up 12 percent of its workforce.
In a 2005 Secret Service “Human Resources and Training Manual,” the general provisions state that it is the policy of the Secret Service to provide equal employment opportunity without regard to such non-merit factors as “disability (physical or mental):”
It is the policy of the Secret Service to provide equal employment opportunity throughout the Service for all employees, former employees, and applicants for employment who are otherwise eligible and qualified, without regard to such non-merit factors as race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability (physical or mental), parental status, protected genetic information, sexual orientation, age, or reprisal for objecting to discrimination or prior or current participation in the Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) complaint process. This policy applies to appointments, details, career development, training, reassignments, promotions, and assignments of work, and to any other actions or situations affecting employment status where the possibility exists for consideration of non-merit factors.
The document also outlines a program within Secret Service called “Special Emphasis Programs” that:
[A]re designed to assist the organization in meeting its affirmative action responsibilities. SEPs are affirmative action programs established to increase the representation, retention, and advancement of their constituent groups in underrepresented occupations and grades. SEPs are also charged with promoting cultural awareness, identifying policies, procedures, and practices affecting their groups and advising management on actions, which may increase in participation of minorities, women and persons with disabilities in all Secret Service programs and activities. The Secret Service delivers the following six programs:
Federal Women
Hispanic Employment
African American
Asian/Pacific Islander
Persons with Disabilities/Disabled Veterans
American Indian/Alaskan Native
A document titled “Diversity Management Program” dated February 2001 explains: “The Diversity Management Program has been established in the Secret Service as a means of achieving an organizational culture which value diversity and utilizes employees to their fullest potential regardless of age, gender, race or other factors.”
The document also establishes the “Duties, Functions and Responsibilities” of the Diversity Management Program, including the goals:
Promotes awareness of diversity within the workplace, enhances interpersonal relationships, and strives to create an organizational culture that is free from racism, sexism, and other biases.
Actively supports the recruitment, development, advancement, and retention of a diverse workforce.
An undated Secret Service Human Resources PowerPoint training slideshow, titled “SAITC-UDITC [Special Agent Introductory Training Course-Uniformed Division Introductory Training Course] Zero Tolerance Briefing” outlines “Special Emphasis Programs” as focusing “special attention on groups that are not represented or have less than expected participation rates in specific occupational categories or grade levels within the agency’s workforce,” including among others, “Federal Women’s Program,” “Hispanic Program,” and “LGBT Program.”
“These documents show that the Secret Service, for years, has seemed to place woke politics over their protection and law enforcement mission in, as their DEI policy states: ‘Every Action, Every Day,’” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
Judicial Watch recently uncovered records from the district attorney’s office in Butler County, PA, detailing the extensive preparation of local police for the rally at which former President Trump was shot, including sniper teams, counter assault teams and a quick response force.
On August 9, in response to a separate open records request, Judicial Watch obtained bodycam footage of the July 13 assassination events from the Butler Township Police Department.
On August 12 Judicial Watch reported that the FBI withheld information on a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for information about its coordination with the U.S. Secret Service regarding the July 13 Butler, PA, rally.
On July 31, Judicial Watch reported that the United States Secret Service completely denied multiple Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests for documents about the assassination attempt on former President Trump.
Judicial Watch has more than 25 FOIA and open records currently pending on the shooting of Trump with the Biden administration and local and state officials and agencies in Pennsylvania.

Still waiting for DEI to infect the NBA, NFL, NHL, NASCAR, and other sport arenas.
Day One of the Trump Administration... ANY evaluation of those employed with taxpayer money is now done on a basis of MERIT. You may have GOT the job as one of the (Dem) “Preferred classes”, but as of Inauguration, you will WORK to keep it.
Nice in theory ... but it doesn't happen in practice. "We" ran that experiment for a few decades, and it didn't produce a "diverse" but competent workforce. The "diversity uber alles" crowd noticed that, and have imposed the Didn't Earn It regime to ensure that straight white men are expunged from the workforce.
I just realized: at the top of the two serious Presidential campaigns we have two straight white men on one side against a slut and a fag/pedo on the other. It's normalcy vs grotesque perversion.
I’m the civilian sector they are already canning this DEI trash.
BUT, we’ll have to peel this away from government.
Once they adopt something and because there is no real bottom line (no investors and board that make money based on revenue), no true ROI or risk management, there is no pressure to change except from external forces.
DEI should be considered criminal action with a mandatory prison sentence of 10 years no parole.
Destroy Every Institution
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
A major component of the strategy to destroy our Country.
That may actually be the way to ultimately defeat this. If Trump gets elected, rather than abolish it for the Federal government, he needs to demand it be applied to sports. He can issue an executive order instructing the DOL to go after the NBA for not being 60% white, 20% Hispanic, and 6% Asian. Of those, 7% have to be gay and 12% disabled. Straight, able bodied blacks can no longer be 80% of the NBA and are capped at 12%. After the expected howling and gnashing of teeth, he can point to the absurdity of DEI and rescind the order as well as kill all DEI in the US as it applies to government or in the private sector as unlawful discrimination.
Secret Service Detail Member Breastfeeds While PAID to Protect Trump
This is the work of that dumbkopf Kim Cheatle......Biden and Jill’s disastrous pick to run the S/S.
Cheatle——ousted after the unsettling surrounding Trump’s shooting.......
stupidly put the emphasis on DEI....... and making the S/S “diverse.”
Cheatle enabled the dumbing down of the S/S.
Trump security breach sparks ANOTHER S/S investigation
Tax paid SS agent leaves security post to breastfeed on the job
Why has this tax-paid, Atlanta-based S/S agent not been fired?
<><>she abandoned her post and willfully by-passed security,
<><>she created a dangerous security breach
<><>she endangered a presidential victim of an assassination attempt
<><>she aided and abetted uncredentialed individuals into a secure area.
<><>she was on duty, salaried by taxpayers, to protect a president,
<><>yet the S/S agent irresponsibly engaged in highly personal business.
Call Congress.
<><>If you know your rep, use website contact forms.
<><>Clerk of the House has addresses/phones of House members and Committees.
<><>Or call (202) 224-3121, the US House switchboard operator.
<><>mention state and zip for quick connection.
Diversity pimp Cheatle has a lot to hide; interesting numbers are coming out of the S/S debacle.
<><>There are 7100 Secret Service ‘Special agents’ and 2800 Task Force Officers,
<><>plus S/S Uniformed Division officers, Technical Law Enforcement officers,
<><>and S/S administrative, professional, and technical personnel
<><>all of them on the tax-paid govt payroll
<><>w/ perks, privileges, bonuses, Cadillac healthcare and pensions.
<><>Mayorkas’ DHS Investigations division was employed in the Trump shooting
<><>his payroll has over 9,800 Special Agents and tactical officers.
<><>as of May 23, 2023, the FBI had some 10,100 special agents
<><>and approximately 35,000 FBI support professionals:
<><>intel analysts, language specialists, scientists, and info tech specialists.
That all sounds alarmingly suspicious——like the age-old scam of putting phantom names on the payroll with the attendant eye-popping financial windfall, ending with several govt pensions for whoever’s cashing in.
Let’s get Congress to check it out.

MESSAGE: Payroll fraud is widespread and easy to pull off
on the govt payroll. There are several methodologies used, including
<><>submitting falsified time sheets,
<><>issuing unauthorized paychecks, healthcare, bonuses, benefits and overtime
<><>enrolling fictitious employees in pension plans.
The govt fraudster simply sets up fictitious employees and arranges for them to receive a salary,
benefits, overtime payments, bonuses and pensions, even though they do not perform any duties.
The fraudster then diverts the fraudulent payments into their bank account or that of an accomplice.
Payroll fraud entails serious crimes.......falsifying govt documents, misappropriation of tax dollars, skimming, larceny, check tampering, check kiting, billing fraud, payroll fraud, reimbursement fraud, pension fraud, misuse of tax dollars, theft of tax dollars, ID fraud, Social Security swindles, IRS fraud.
Did my time, never going back. Ever! :)
Believe me, I have seen unfathomable levels of stupidity in the Army, and working with civilians on various AGR tours at both the State and Federal levels. This latest round of stupidity is nothing new.
But, you just keep your mouth shut, follow orders and keep marching. And then you retire. Yay! :)
So those with mental disabilities are encouraged to apply?
DEI über alles!
Americans are lucky people like you served.
I should have known. Thanks
If DEI is the Guiding Light for SS hen it would be imperative that Donald Trump be eliminated. That revelation reinforces the speculation that SS set the hit up. The failure of the operation is what got several agents “suspended.”
My son saw it coming 4 years ago and ended his 13 year career in the Army because the officers and noncoms he worked under were being replaced by homosexuals and women, most of whom had not the training requisite for their positions.
and that ill be the camel's nose. Combat positions will follow in a year or two with Wheelchair enabled tanks and A/C.
How did this crap infect these agencies? Was in put in place by B.Hussein when he was in power?
A Secret Service agent was removed from her duties after physically attacking the commanding agent in charge and other agents who tried to subdue her.
Secret Service agent finds out you don’t get a DO YOU KNOW WHO I’AM badge with the job.
