The US Secret Service is a federal law enforcement body operating under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which is tasked with protecting public officials. The agency has proven itself willing to use tactics of surveillance to carry out this mandate.
In 2014, Tom Baker the Assistant Special Agent in Charge at the US Secret Service Boston Field Office participated in a week-long Anti-Defamation League (ADL) "counterterrorism seminar" held in Israel. The New England Chapter of the ADL sponsors these and other all-expenses-paid delegations to Israel for high-ranking New England police, ICE, FBI, and other security officials, where these officials meet with Israeli military, police, and intelligence agencies, with whom they train and exchange tactics including surveillance, racial profiling, crowd control, and the containment of protests.
