WASHINGTON – The U.S. Secret Service announced that one of
its agents has been placed on administrative leave after making a social media
post that violated the agency's code of conduct. The post, related to the
murder of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, sparked immediate controversy
and raised questions about the impartiality and professionalism of the agency
charged with protecting national leaders.
According to an official statement, the agency confirmed
that the agent in question was identified and temporarily removed from duty
while an internal investigation is conducted. The Secret Service emphasized
that it maintains "strict standards of conduct" and that any
violation is treated with "absolute seriousness."
The suspension comes amid a highly polarized political
context in the United States, where the murder of Charlie Kirk has sparked
intense reactions in both the political and social spheres. Conservative groups
demanded full transparency in the case and questioned whether the agent's post
reflects ideological bias within an institution whose primary mission is
national security and political neutrality.
For their part, Secret Service spokespersons reiterated that
the investigation will determine final sanctions and that measures will be
taken to strengthen training in professional ethics and responsible use of
social media among its members.
The case is ongoing, and more details about both the
internal investigation and the potential disciplinary or legal repercussions
for the agent involved are expected to be released in the coming days.
