On Wednesday, police in Los Angeles detained an intruder for trespassing at the home of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and the man returned to the property immediately after being released.
After scaling a fence and demanding to see Kennedy, the intruder was located and captured by the independent candidate’s security team from Gavin de Becker & Associates (GDBA).
According to a news release from Kennedy’s team, the intruder was turned over to the Los Angeles Police Department.
“After being released from police custody, the man immediately returned to Kennedy’s residence and was arrested again,” the campaign said. “The candidate was home at the time of both arrests.”
The security team had notified the Secret Service about this specific “obsessed individual several times in recent months and shared alarming communications he has sent to the candidate,” the press release says.
Despite formal requests from Kennedy’s campaign, the Biden administration has refused to provide him with Secret Service security.
“Over the last several months, the campaign submitted formal requests for Secret Service protection, yet U.S. Department of Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas has refused to approve the protection,” the press release explains.
“Every presidential administration for 55 years has afforded early protection to candidates who requested it. The Biden administration is the sole outlier.”
The most recent petition was sent on October 25 and detailed the dangers Kennedy had been in since announcing his candidacy.
“Most significantly, your office and Secret Service are aware of a man named Adrian Aispuro, who recently showed up at a side door to a Kennedy campaign event, identified himself as a US Marshal, and demanded to be brought to the candidate immediately,” the request explains. “The man was carrying a loaded handgun, and arresting LAPD officers found he had a second loaded gun (with laser sight) in his backpack, along with extra ammunition.”
According to the campaign, Aispuro was not the same man arrested during the most recent intrusion.
