Vice President JD Vance’s security detail had an Ohio river’s water level raised last weekend to accommodate a kayaking trip he and his family took for his 41st birthday.

Vice President JD Vance's security detail from the Secret Service requested that the Army Corps of Engineers change the outflow of a lake into the Little Miami River in Ohio, The Guardian reports. A spokesman for Vance said the Vice President was unaware of the "protective measures" undertaken by the Secret Service.

The Secret Service said the boats the agency uses for security are usually motorized and need deeper waters to operate.
