CHARLESTON, S.C. (Nov. 10, 2025)- Congresswoman Nancy Mace (SC-01) today thanked the City of Charleston Police Department and U.S. Capitol Police for providing her federal office in Charleston with a full-time security detail following the Charleston Airport incident.
The House of Representatives security resources remain limited with protections typically reserved for top leadership only, despite numerous members facing significant, credible threats. Rep. Mace receives over 1,300 credible threats annually. The publicity of airport-gate immediately prompted the Capitol Police to jump in and work with local law enforcement to immediately assist the Congresswoman.
"I am deeply grateful to the City of Charleston Police Department and Capitol Police for stepping up and to provide the protection our office needs," said Rep. Nancy Mace. "Apparently, it took an airport falsifying police reports and retaliating against a Member of Congress to wake everyone up to the reality of the threats we face daily. I pray no one else gets hurt or killed due to today's politically violent environment."
The enhanced security measures come after Rep. Mace is preparing a lawsuit against Charleston International Airport and American Airlines for allegedly fabricating incident reports and subsequently retaliating by suspending security services for all other elected officials.
"With over 1,300 credible threats per year, this protection is not a luxury, it's a necessity," Mace continued. "I shouldn't have to sue an airport and expose their lies to get the security detail I've requested for years, but I am eternally grateful today for the swift assistance from law enforcement!"
Rep. Mace expressed particular gratitude to Charleston's law enforcement community, many of whom volunteered to assist her at her office before this official detail was approved.
"The men and women of the Charleston Police Department and Capitol Police put their lives on the line every day to protect public servants and citizens alike," stated Mace. "Their professionalism stands in stark contrast to what we witnessed in one or two bad apples at the airport. I am honored by their service and grateful for their protection."
"Law enforcement officers understand duty and integrity," Mace added. "I'm thankful to work with the best at Charleston PD and the Capitol Police."
