A few hours after Charlie Kirk's funeral, tension has escalated in Glendale, Arizona, USA. Authorities are working to increase security measures in the face of high expectations about the event, which will be attended by important administration authorities, including US President Donald Trump.
This Sunday, political leaders and supporters of the ultraconservative activist meet at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale to commemorate the legacy of the founder of the organization that promotes conservative principles Turning Point . Kirk was killed on September 10 when he was shot in the neck while arguing in front of hundreds of people at Utah Valley University.
His death has given rise to intense debate about security and freedom of expression, and these are the issues that frame the context of the funeral.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has strengthened surveillance and security measures in Glendale by mobilizing federal agents.
The authorities have not confirmed the authenticity of the threats, but additional security measures are being taken due to potential risks.
This Friday, the Secret Service arrested a gunman at the Arizona Cardinals' State Farm stadium for posing as a law enforcement officer.
Guests at today's funeral include U.S. Vice President and friend ofKirk JD Vance , Erika Kirk, widow of Kirk and new CEO of Turning Point, and other Administration officials, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said.
"The President ,the Vice President, the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Cabinet Secretaries will speak at the Arizona funeral. In fact, we're taking two planes full of White House personnel. This shows how many people of the highest rank in our government appreciated it, "said Levitt.
