Overview
- DHS officials say a memo signed by President Trump took effect Sept. 1 rescinding the extended detail, and the Secret Service will comply.
- LAPD’s Metropolitan Division, including its Tactical Response Teams, is now guarding Harris, with local reports indicating up to 14 officers were reassigned from other duties.
- The California Highway Patrol is also providing protection, an arrangement that would require Governor Gavin Newsom’s sign-off, which his office has not confirmed.
- President Biden had extended Harris’s post‑term Secret Service coverage to 18 months in January under authority for temporary extensions.
- Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass condemned the move as retaliatory, and an unmarked LAPD vehicle has been seen stationed outside Harris’s Brentwood residence.
