Several people have tried to breach the White House perimeter, but this time it was a special offender. A small child crawled through the fencing and tried to enter the White House on Wednesday.
Looking at the tiny intruder, the secret service personnel quickly went there and picked up the child. The child played with his beard.
According to Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi, the incident occurred near the North Lawn at approximately 6.30 pm, shortly after President Donald Trump’s announcement regarding proposed auto tariffs from the Oval Office.
“Officers quickly reunited the child with their parents without incident,” Guglielmi stated in a social media post.
Social media footage captured a security officer carrying a child in a blue hooded sweatshirt across the lawn before transferring the youngster to another officer.
Similar incidents have occurred previously. In April 2023, a toddler managed to pass through the metal fencing at the North Lawn, and was subsequently reunited with the parents after a brief questioning session.
