California Highway Patrol to protect Harris after Trump pulls Secret Service protection: LA Times
The California Highway Patrol is providing security for Kamala Harris after federal protection ended on Sept 1, following a politically controversial revocation by President Trump.
- On September 1, 2025, President Donald Trump ordered the Department of Homeland Security to cancel extra Secret Service protections for Former Vice President Kamala D. Harris, ending the extension confirmed by CNN.
- Before leaving office, President Joe Biden authorized extending Kamala Harris's post-office protection beyond the usual six months through July 2026, reportedly at Harris's aides' request.
- Just hours after the revocation, the California Highway Patrol stepped in to protect Kamala Harris in Los Angeles, coordinated by Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, funded by California taxpayers.
- Harris now lacks 24/7 federal protection and associated threat intelligence just weeks before her 15‑city book tour starting 24 September 2025.
- Legal and constitutional experts argue the decision intensifies debate over executive discretion, warning it fuels concerns about weaponizing protection decisions against political rivals, critics say.
