The Secret Service requested that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers raise water levels in Ohio's Little Miami River to accommodate security measures during Vice President JD Vance's kayaking trip last weekend. According to reports, the water level adjustment was implemented to ensure that motorized watercraft and emergency personnel could operate safely while protecting the Vice President during his 41st birthday outing. The Secret Service has stated that this decision was made during their standard advance planning process without involvement from the Office of the Vice President.
