The U.S. Secret Service said in a post on the social network X that a toddler got through the White House gate on Wednesday.
Video shows the child, who was wearing a blue coat and red shoes, being carried by police.
“Just after 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, U.S. Secret Service Uniformed Division officers observed a child slip through the White House north fence. Officers quickly reunited the child with their parents without incident,” Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi wrote Wednesday.
There have been times before when a child got through the fence near the White House. One child broke through a metal fence on the north side of the complex in April 2023 and went to the North Lawn before being caught by the Secret Service.
