There have been threats against Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) employees responding to Hurricane Helene in North Carolina, according to a local sheriff. "Recently in the mountain region, there have been threats made against them," Ashe County Sheriff Phil Howell posted on Facebook regarding the alleged threats against FEMA employees. "This has not happened in Ashe County or the surrounding counties," Howell added.
AFAIK the Secret Service was started as the militant anti-counterfeiting wing of the Treasury. Only later on did they get protection details for US politicians and their families.
