Miller, a veteran Secret Service officer and former member of the Marine Corps, described the security alerts as ‘extremely concerning.’ He referenced the recent murders of a young couple working at the Israeli embassy in Washington, DC, as well as the firebombing of a group of peaceful Jewish marchers in Boulder, Colorado, last week.
