U.S. Secret Service Director Sean Curran announced on Wednesday, July 23rd, 2026, that the agency has opened more than 10,000 investigations into threats against its protectees so far this year. This marks a 40 percent increase compared to the previous year.

Curran described the rise in threats as "off the charts," emphasizing that "the environment has become very volatile." The surge in investigations reflects growing concerns over security risks faced by those under Secret Service protection across the United States.
