A Secret Service spokeswoman, Cathy L. Milhoan, said she could not discuss what measures the agency took to vet employees at the golf club. “The U.S. Secret Service does not comment on our protective operations to include the administration of our name check program,” she said in a statement. Ms. Torres said she believes the undocumented workers she identified to management also had their names removed from the list given to the Secret Service, but all of them, she said, remained on staff at the resort. Secret Service officials said the pin did not signify that she had passed any security clearance. Among other tasks, Ms. Torres noted that she made sandwiches for Secret Service agents when they began visiting the property.
