Ivanka Trump is rattled as Secret Service agent violently fends away mysterious man for getting too close
A Secret Service agent was caught on camera violently pushing a mysterious man who got too close to Ivanka Trump over the weekend.
The First Daughter and her husband, Jared Kushner, were seen in video posted online holding hands and leaving Carbone Beach in South Beach, Florida after an event on Saturday night, surrounded by onlookers.
One unidentified man holding a Manila envelope, and wearing khaki shorts and a black t-shirt could soon be seen trying to walk alongside them.
At that point, an agent in a blue button down shirt and black jeans could be seen gently shoving the man out of the way.
When the man then put his hand on the agent, the guard responds by forcefully pushing the bystander out of the way with both hands.
The scene sent bystanders screaming in shock - prompting Ivanka to turn around to see what the commotion was.
But within seconds, the guard could be seen rushing her and Jared into an awaiting SUV.
Amid the footage going viral online, the Secret Service told 'During a protective movement on Saturday, May 4, 2025, an adult male encroached, coming too close to Secret Service personnel.
'A special agent immediately intervened, physically redirecting the individual to reestablish a safe perimeter.

'The public is reminded that during protective operations, maintaining a safe distance from law enforcement and protective personnel is essential.
'Adequate space ensures agents can respond swiftly to unexpected actions and helps safeguard everyone in the vicinity.'
Many who watched the video, which was originally posted online by the Miami Beach Experience have also defended the plain-clothes agent.
'Security set his acceptable safety perimeter around his client and you invaded it,' one Instagram user wrote. 'You're lucky you didn't get your teeth smashed in.
Another suggested the bystander 'knew what he was doing.'
'He was watching Ivanka and kept trying to push in.'
A third viewer also said the agent '100 percent did his job.'
'You people don't know if the old guy was a threat or not!' the user wrote. 'Her father has been shot at. You think security shouldn't be on edge?'
Others, though, argued the Secret Service agent should have handled the situation differently - with one person suggesting he could have 'respectfully asked the man to step aside' and another claiming the push was 'assault' and 'over excessive.'
'Some Secret Service agents say this is an example of an agent getting too rough with the public and a possible indication of worktime stress as many USSS agent details are continuing to be stretched with long hours, including on Vice President [JD] Vance's detail,' one reporter claimed.
Saturday night's incident apparently came as Ivanka and Jared were leaving Florida Miami Race Week, a three-night dinner club experience sponsored by American Express, according to the New York Post.
Other A-listers in attendance included NFL stars like Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes.
But attendance was limited to just 400 guests each night, with tickets costing $3,000 each and including a performance by Jelly Roll.
In photos Ivanka shared online of the event, the glamorous First Daughter could be seen rocking a gold grown from Andrea Almeida, which she coupled with strappy sandals.
Jared, meanwhile, wore a velvet sports jacket over a black shirt that he paired with dark jeans and dress shoes.
