About ten minutes prior to President Obama's motorcade pulling into the Lyndon B. Johnson Auditorium in Austin, Texas, local police told reporters and others that they could not stand on the closed street and would have to view the event from the sidewalk opposite of the auditorium.
But once over 100 pro-amnesty supporters arrived, police allowed them to demonstrate on the street while still asking others to remain on the sidewalk.
When asked why the activists were allowed on the street but not others, a Travis Co. Deputy Sheriff said that Secret Service was “making the calls.”
There’s no doubt that the Secret Service’s objective was to control President Obama’s image by restricting press access while also showcasing event attendees who are more supportive of the president’s policies.

I'm a bit ignorant about the chain of command as far as who exactly is in charge of the secret service. Perhaps someone could enlighten me as to whom directs them?

The Secret Service is like the Royal Guard for the POTUS. I think the

So the basic gist of the situation is that the Obama admin. closed the area to everyone BUT the pro-amnesty demonstrators to help falsely paint a picture ?
