Summary

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.

The State Department acknowledged the incident is “being examined” amid reports of Rubio’s security detail being stretched “to a near-breaking point.”
