Raymond Arroyo explored how two men allegedly passed as Department of Homeland Security officers to compromise and "groom" Secret Service members Friday on "The Ingraham Angle."

RAYMOND ARROYO: I want to open tonight with Homeland Insecurity. There is a troubling story out of Washington, D.C., that should concern every American on this Good Friday. I want to introduce you to two men you probably haven't heard much about: Arian Taherzadeh and Haider Ali.

At least one of the compromised agents worked on the first lady's security detail. Others worked at the vice president's residence and the White House. There was also a real.

They also offered the agents weapons and gave them electronics.

No matter what happens here, the case invites serious questions about the security of our law enforcement agencies and the safety of the White House, and the president and the vulnerability of our national security.
