Why Sasha And Malia Obama No Longer Have Secret Service Protection
By NICOLE CORD-CRUZ
The United States Secret Service ensures round-the-clock security for the First Family. Naturally, Sasha and Malia Obama used to be two of the most protected kids in the world.
However, while the Former Presidents Protection Act provides former presidents and their spouses with lifetime security, their children only enjoy the privilege until the age of 16.
Given that both Sasha and Malia were 16 and 19 in 2017, they were able to shed the security detail as soon as they left the White House after the end of the Obama administration.
According to Michelle Obama, the sisters are now living together in Los Angeles and enjoying life more freely, without the looming presence of armed guards.
