Congressman Guest speaks to News 11 about what needs to be done regarding the Secret Service
SUMMARY: Former President Donald Trump has survived two assassination attempts, raising concerns about the Secret Service’s effectiveness. A member of the Homeland Security committee suggested that Congress should consider making the Secret Service a standalone agency, potentially enhancing its oversight and performance. While the Biden Administration is pushing for an additional $265 million in funding for the Secret Service, the committee member believes the issue lies in resource allocation, not funding. They argue that even with more money, it wouldn’t have a significant impact before the upcoming election due to time constraints in hiring and training additional agents.

Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Department warns against scammers
SUMMARY: Scammers are using a method called spoofing to disguise their phone numbers as the sheriff’s department’s number. They call victims, claiming there is a warrant out for missing jury duty and request money, typically through Bitcoin machines or Green Dot cards. Authorities emphasize that they will never request payment over the phone for warrants and that all official communications occur via U.S. mail. The likelihood of locating and prosecuting these scammers is very low. Therefore, individuals should avoid sending money to anyone over the phone, regardless of the circumstances.
