LAPD and CHP Now Guard Harris After Secret Service Detail Is Revoked

The city-led deployment fills a gap created by a memo that canceled her extended coverage beyond the six-month limit.

Overview

  • President Trump issued an executive memorandum effective Sept. 1 directing DHS to end Kamala Harris’s protection beyond what law requires, and the Secret Service is complying.
  • LAPD Metropolitan Division officers are assisting the California Highway Patrol on a round-the-clock detail for Harris, with roughly a dozen officers reassigned, according to multiple reports.
  • The LAPD described the joint effort as temporary until an alternate plan is set, and sources told the Los Angeles Times the city will fund it for now.
  • Governor Gavin Newsom’s office has not confirmed CHP authorization, while California officials including Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass criticized the federal revocation as retaliatory.
  • A recent Secret Service threat assessment reportedly found no alarming risks warranting an extension, and a Harris adviser thanked the agency for its professionalism.
