Protecting US government leaders: Who gets security and why: ANALYSIS

Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos has a protective detail provided by the U.S. Marshals Service, and it's been questioned by some members of the public who don’t understand its threat basis and consider it unnecessary since it seemed to be started due to politics and its cost has increased.

By law, 18 USC 3056, under the direction of the secretary of Homeland Security, the United States Secret Service is authorized to protect:- The immediate families of those individuals - Former vice presidents, their spouses and their children who are under 16 years of age, for a period of not more than six months after the date the former vice president leaves office

Within the State Department, the Diplomatic Security Service has a high-profile personal protective function as well, highlighted whenever the secretary of state travels overseas. The secretary of state detail is DSS's largest permanent dignitary protective detail. This executive protection is provided by the Security Protective Service and Protective Agents, who -- despite Hollywood depictions -- are actually federal law enforcement officers with police powers rather than agents from the ranks of the CIA's intelligence personnel. This is due in large part to the necessity of these officers to be able to arrest people, an authority intelligence officers lack.

Within the Department of Justice , both the FBI and U.S. Marshals Service have delineated personal protective functions focused on individuals within the DOJ framework. Former Iraq President Saddam Hussein, for example, received protection from the Marshals Service prior to his death sentence and the Marshals Service ran the court process in Afghanistan for several high-profile terrorist cases.

You forgot the Justices of the Supreme Cpurt.
