Comment on If Trump loses the election and flees to another country to avoid his sentencing in his (multiple) lawsuits, does the Secret Service have to go with him?

  They have no obligation to enforce the law, just as a patrol cop does not have to pull you over for speeding.

    I’m pretty sure the options would be to arrest him or be fired for insubordination.

      The protection detail would not arrest him. The agency with the warrant would coordinate with the secret service to either get access to Trump or, more likely, give Trump the opportunity to surrender.

  if there is a warrant issued for his arrest, his secret service detail would need to arrest him.

  Also if he tried to flee the country, I would expect.
