Secret Service agents detained a 23-year-old man who trespassed on the Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, owned by Donald Trump. The man wanted to "preach the gospel" to Trump and "marry" his granddaughter Kai. This was not the first attempt by this man to enter the estate; he was previously imprisoned and banned from contacting the Trump family.
