ISIS would like nothing more than to harm or kill Donald Trump and/or Ben Carson and due to credible threats, they are now receiving Secret Service protection.
NewsMax broke the story on Saturday stating the protection will begin as early as next week. They stated approximately two dozen agents will be assigned to each candidate.Hillary Clinton already has had Secret Service protection since she left the White House in 2001 but her detail will now be heavily upgraded due to viable threats.
The Secret Service decision was prompted by a significant amount of threats to Carson. Those threats including death threats and terrorist chatter.

According to NewsMax’s source, the threats to Carson have been “off the charts” and initially Carson was reluctant to the protection until he was advised of the nature of the threats being made against him.
The Secret Service and other federal agencies have become increasingly alarmed recently as their internal monitoring indicated Carson faced serious danger.
Seemingly the threats intensified following Carson’s comments that a Muslim should not become president. He told Chuck Todd while on NBC’s Meet the Press:I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that.
Trump has argued he should of had Secret Service a long time ago due to the large crowds that have been coming to his events. Currently he is being protected by his own security detail.
He noted he has drawn “by far the biggest crowds” out of all the candidates. Trump also noted Barack Obama received protection at this stage of his first campaign in 2008.
Trump told The Hill:
I want to put them on notice because they should have a liability. Personally, I think if Obama were doing as well as me he would’ve had Secret Service [earlier].
