Secret Service acts like THUGS, agents break into a closed salon to use the restroom

The Secret Service is back in the spotlight again, this time for their appalling behavior surrounding a Kamala Harris fundraiser in Massachusetts. Ahead of the vice president’s first in-person fundraiser after becoming the presumptive presidential nominee for the Democratic party, the Secret Service asked the owner of the Four One Three Salon, Alicia Powers, to close that day due to its location behind the Colonial Theatre where Harris was scheduled to speak. Powers was happy to comply, telling Business Insider that all the security in and out of the area was chaotic and that closing made sense. "They had a bunch of people in and out of here doing a couple of bomb sweeps again — totally understand what they have to do, due to the nature of the situation," she said. However, she was shocked when she later discovered that a Secret Service agent walked right up to her closed salon’s front entrance at 8:10 am on the Saturday morning of the event, swinging a roll of masking tape in her hand and glancing at the door. After noticing the security camera on the porch, the agent left and returned shortly afterward, standing on a chair that was on the porch and taping over the salon’s Ring security camera. Later that afternoon, a different security camera that is positioned inside the salon facing the door recorded four other individuals entering the salon across a span of around two hours. Two of them wore emergency medical services uniforms while one wore a camouflage-style law enforcement uniform; a fourth person dressed in typical Secret Service clothing stood by the door. She said the people were using her bathroom, and her security alarm rang the entire time. "There were several people in and out for about an hour-and-a-half — just using my bathroom, the alarms going off, using my counter, with no permission," she stated. An emergency medical services worker later told her that a Secret Service agent had told people they could enter the salon and use the bathroom. Making matters worse, they did not bother to lock the building after they left, nor did they remove the tape they placed on the camera, putting the business in significant danger. "And then when they were done using the bathroom for two hours, they left, and left my building completely unlocked, and did not take the tape off the camera," she added.

Secret Service agents did not have anyone's permission to enter the salon

She said that while no one who entered the salon damaged it, they did leave the bathroom messy, and the door's lock appeared to have been picked. However, the psychological damage was significant, with Powers saying that she felt “violated” that they entered her space without permission. "Whoever was visiting, whether it was a celebrity or not, I probably would've opened the door and made them coffee and brought in donuts to make it a great afternoon for them. But they didn't even have the [decency] to ask for permission. They just helped themselves," she said. She added that no one else connected to the building gave the Secret Service permission to break into her salon, and the fact that they covered up the camera supports the idea that they were doing something they had no right to do. The head of the Secret Service’s Boston field office later called Powers and apologized, acknowledging that they should not have entered the building or taped over her camera without her permission. They also offered to have her salon cleaned and cover her alarm company bill for the day in question. Just when we thought the Secret Service couldn’t make themselves look any worse after their extreme failures at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania allowed an assassin to take a shot at Trump and kill a rally attendee, they remind us of their incompetence and brazenness by acting like thugs and breaking into a salon just to use the bathroom.
