A Secret Service agent linked to a security failure at President Trump’s rally in Butler is facing a fresh internal investigation. The inquiry is focused on her alleged concealment of her marriage to a Brazilian national for several months.
Miyo Perez is currently on administrative leave after being placed on a “DO NOT ADMIT” status. Reports indicate she did not disclose her marriage, which took place in April 2025, until January 2026—approximately nine months later.
This is not Perez’s first disciplinary issue; she has now faced suspension three times within just over a year.
Her role came under fire following congressional probes into security breakdowns during the Butler event. It was noted that she failed to deploy any Secret Service or local law enforcement personnel on the roof of the American Glass Building, where a shooter attempted to harm President Trump.
Further concerns were raised about her being assigned to a critical operational position for such a high-stakes gathering, particularly when top Secret Service officials were aware of a specific threat to Trump’s safety.
In addition to the initial investigation, Perez is now facing allegations related to her personal life. Sources revealed that while she did notify the agency of her ties with the Brazilian national, it raised questions about the legality of the individual’s stay in the U.S.
Investigators are scrutinizing the timeline of Perez’s marriage and any potential immigration violations. There is also an inquiry into whether she adequately communicated the development of her relationship, especially after they commenced living together.
These events have rekindled concerns regarding the Secret Service’s handling of agents’ relationships with foreign nationals, echoing past controversies, such as alleged ties between a suspected Russian spy and a senior agent.
Perez remains on active leave while the investigation is ongoing.
