Sept. 14 (UPI) -- The White House has proposed spending nearly $60 million to heighten security for the executive and judicial branches of government following the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
The money would be used to enhance security in the U.S. Marshals' office and would boost protection for Supreme Court Justices, the administration said.
The Trump administration also proposed increasing security for members of Congress, but that request could be deferred to the legislative branch.
The government launched a pilot program in August that allows members of Congress to hire personal security or upgrade their homes for additional protection, according to CBS News. The Senate is also considering additional security precautions for its members.
