Members of Congress Move to Increase Personal Security After Charlie Kirk Killing, Reports.

Members of the US Congress are taking new steps to strengthen their personal security following the murder of commentator Charlie Kirk.

Measures under discussion include expanding Capitol Police protection, tightening background checks for individuals who interact with lawmakers, and providing additional defensive training for congressional staff. Lawmakers are also reviewing stricter controls on visitors and deliveries to their offices.

Congressional leaders are considering legislation that would shift more responsibility for member safety to the executive branch, with some pushing for increased funding for protective services.

Officials say lawmakers have reported a rise in anonymous threats online and in person, raising concern that existing security arrangements are no longer sufficient in the current political climate. according to AP
