## Key points

- Secret Service investigated about 10,000 threat cases in 2026.
- The total is roughly 40 per cent higher year-on-year.
- Rising threats are straining protective security resources.

## Summary

The US Secret Service says it has investigated roughly 10,000 threat cases against people it protects so far in 2026, about 40 per cent more than during the same period last year. The rise matters because it is increasing demands on the agency’s agents and investigative resources at a time of heightened concern about political violence in the United States.

The cases involve threats against figures including the president, other senior officials, Supreme Court justices, former presidents, presidential candidates and visiting foreign leaders. The announcement came ahead of the rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Dinner, after the original event was disrupted by shots fired in the building where President Trump had been expected to speak.
