Toddler picked up by Secret Service after squeezing through White House fence

The Secret Service rushed to intercept a pint-sized intruder at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Tuesday after a toddler squeezed through the White House fence.

The breach happened on the north side of the highly secured property, while President Biden was inside the executive mansion, according to his public schedule.

Officers walked across the North Lawn to pick up the little boy and bring him back to his parents, who they briefly interrogated before allowing them to continue on.

The unidentified tot may have been the first person to get through the White House’s new 13-foot tall fences, which were installed in recent years after several breaches.

Although the new fences are taller, they feature an additional inch between posts — giving the tiny trespasser 5½ inches of space to work with.

The Secret Service did not immediately make a public statement on the matter.
