A US Diplomatic Security Service agent in Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s advance security team was arrested in Brussels on March 31, 2025, after becoming aggressive when Hotel Amigo staff refused to extend bar hours.

The agent allegedly fought with responding police officers before being released following US Embassy intervention.

    You’ve got to be fucking kidding me. How is he that much of an alcoholic, still such a poor drunk, and also simultaneously too stupid to just ask them for road beers to take with him and/or order a bottle to his hotel room? How the fuck was such a stupid motherfucker able to secure a job working for the U.S. Secretary of State?
