Federal agencies are monitoring unspecified threats against attendees of Charlie Kirk's memorial service in Glendale, Arizona, on Sunday. President Trump and Vice President Vance are among those expected to attend, leading to a heightened security alert. The event is designated a Special Event Assessment Rating (SEAR) Level 1, prompting a multi-agency response involving the FBI, DHS, Secret Service, and local police. While no credible plot has been verified, officials cite unverified threats and recent political violence as cause for concern. Security will be extensive, comparable to Super Bowl or Boston Marathon levels, with expectations of over 100,000 attendees.
