U.S. Vice President JD Vance's security detail had an Ohio river's water level raised last week, to accommodate a kayaking trip he and his family took to celebrate his 41st birthday.
The U.S. Secret Service said it requested the increased water flow for the Little Miami River to ensure motorised watercraft and emergency personnel could operate safely, while protecting the Republican vice president. But critics immediately blasted the action as a sign of the vice president's entitlement.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said its Louisville District temporarily increased outflows from the Caesar Creek Lake in southwest Ohio into the Little Miami to support safe navigation of U.S. Secret Service personnel. They said the move met operational criteria and fell within normal practice.
