LAPD and CHP Take Over Harris Security After Trump Revokes Secret Service Detail

The Secret Service says a recent threat review found no unusual risk to warrant extending federal protection beyond six months.

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.
