Secret Service agents fired after fight outside Obama's DC home
Two Secret Service agents fired after violent altercation outside Barack Obama's DC residence: watch ‘wild’ video
Two female Secret Service agents were fired after they got into a violent argument outside former U.S. President Barack Obama’s house in Washington, DC. A video showing their fight has gone viral, drawing a lot of attention and criticism.
The incident happened late at night, around 2:30 am on May 21, near Obama’s home, which is worth around $8 million. The video clearly shows the two agents arguing loudly and then fighting beside a police car. One agent can be heard threatening to hurt the other. She said, “Can I get a supervisor down to Delta two immediately before I whoop this girl’s ass?”
The fight started because one agent was late, which upset the other. The argument quickly turned physical, with the women pushing and hitting each other. The whole scene looked chaotic and unprofessional, especially since these women are supposed to be responsible for protecting important people and places.
This video spread quickly on social media, and many people were shocked. One user on X (formerly Twitter) asked, “When the Secret Service is fighting, who is left to do the protection work? This is wild.” Others said the agents’ behavior was embarrassing for the Secret Service. Many called for the agents to be fired immediately.
The Secret Service confirmed the two agents were suspended and said an internal investigation is happening. A Secret Service representative told The Mirror newspaper, “The Secret Service has a very strict code of conduct for all employees, and any behavior that violates that code is unacceptable. Given this is a personnel matter, we are not in a position to comment further.”
This incident has raised questions about the professionalism of the Secret Service. People who saw the video said the agency is not what it used to be. One comment read, “The lack of professionalism is astounding.” Another said, “Wow! The Secret Service just isn’t the same as it was 30 years ago.”
Secret service problems and leadership changes
This is not the first time the Secret Service has been criticized for fights and problems within its own ranks. Last year, a Secret Service agent who was assigned to protect former Vice President Kamala Harris was taken off duty after a violent fight with other agents.
The Secret Service has faced many claims of incompetence and security breaches in recent years. These problems have caused people to lose trust in the agency responsible for protecting the President and other important officials.
The agency’s chief, Kimberly Cheatle, stepped down amid heavy criticism after the security failure during the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. This happened at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July last year. During the incident, a shooter fired a bullet that hit Trump’s ear while he was on stage. Although Trump was quickly surrounded by agents and was safe, the event raised many questions about the Secret Service’s security measures.

After Cheatle resigned, Sean Curran, one of the agents who protected Trump during the shooting, took over her position as the head of the Secret Service.
The recent fight between the two female agents outside Obama’s home adds to the growing concerns about the state of the Secret Service. The agency is expected to protect the nation’s leaders with the highest level of professionalism, but incidents like these show the opposite.
Many citizens and experts believe the Secret Service needs to improve its training, discipline, and overall work culture to avoid such embarrassing situations in the future. The agency plays a critical role in national security, and any weakness can have serious consequences.
In conclusion, the video of the fight between two Secret Service agents near Barack Obama’s residence has raised serious concerns about the agency’s professionalism and effectiveness. With past incidents and leadership changes, the Secret Service faces a tough challenge to restore public trust and ensure the safety of the country’s leaders.
