They were. They made a 'no shit they shall not pass' line and as soon as the first MAGA fucked around, they found out.
Source? I want to read that story and have a laugh.
Edit: I couldn't find a case where the USSS took on trespassers. I can only find preventative measures.

Shortening Secret Service to SS sure seems weird when nazis are threatening to take hold of power. Caught me off guard.
Whoops, genuinely didn't mean to.
I am undecided wether pointing that out was necessary. I just made an offhand comment and you did too. I did not think you were implying something. Hope I didn't cause distress.
Nah, you're right to have pointed it out, especially because of the circumstances. No distress here. ☮
I think typically people use "USSS" for this reason.
Pretty sure he's talking about Ashley babbit.

Ashli Babbitt got shot full on by the secret service after attempting to force entry into the Speakers' Lobby. After being repeatedly warned by secret service that they will be shot if they press forward, Zachary Alam broke the window and Babbitt attempted to rush in past the broken glass. Then she got shot. Big surprise.

Ashli Babbitt isn't an example of the USSS taking down a threat. Your source claims:
she was shot in the left shoulder by a United States Capitol Police (USCP) officer.
The USCP isn't the USSS (by my understanding, which is based on Wiki). I understand that the USSS were present at Jan 6 though, so your point stands.
Hmm, actually, that's a pretty solid point. I missed that detail. Thanks for pointing that out.
At first I thought that was a typo. But yes, this most certainly took place on land.
