The protection started Monday and was first reported by [NBC News](https://twitter.com/kasie/status/777869721953796096 "undefined"). A Secret Service spokesperson confirmed to TIME that Ivanka is the first of Trump’s children to get protection, but referred questions about why the protection was granted to the Trump campaign. The Secret Service declined to reveal Ivanka’s code name, though candidates and their family members usually have code names that begin with the same letter; Trump’s code name set is “[Mogul](http://www.people.com/article/donald-trump-secret-service-code-name-mogul "undefined").” Donald Trump started receiving Secret Service protection during the 2016 primary contest. Secret Service protection for presidential and vice presidential candidates [dates back to 1968](http://www.secretservice.gov/about/faqs/ "undefined"). After Robert Kennedy was assassinated, protection for candidates and their spouses became standard practice. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4499408/ivanka-trump-donald-secret-service/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4499408/ivanka-trump-donald-secret-service/"},"headline":"Ivanka Trump Is Now Receiving Secret Service Protection","datePublished":"2016-09-19T16:03:13.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T00:41:03.333Z","description":"The Secret Service declined to reveal Ivanka's code name","url":"https://time.com/4499408/ivanka-trump-donald-secret-service/","keywords":["2016 Election","2016 Election topic","Secret Service","Donald Trump","Ivanka Trump"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc15a00e2b09728eb/6988a6a30a4a2208e99cb527/gettyimages-605386018.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Maya Rhodan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/maya-rhodan/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc15a00e2b09728eb/6988a6a30a4a2208e99cb527/gettyimages-605386018.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Donald Trump Holds Campaign Event In Philadelphia Area","caption":"Donald Trump Holds Campaign Event In Philadelphia Area","creditText":"Mark Makela—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/2016-election/","name":"2016 Election"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4499408/ivanka-trump-donald-secret-service/","name":"Ivanka Trump Is Now Receiving Secret Service Protection"}}]}] ```
