- Trump’s executive memorandum took effect Sept. 1, rescinding Biden’s extension of Harris’s protection to 18 months, and a Secret Service assessment reportedly found no basis to continue coverage beyond the usual six months.
- CHP participation is active per LAPD statements, and the Los Angeles Times reported the arrangement is expected to be brief with private security anticipated to replace the interim detail.
- Mayor Karen Bass criticized the revocation as retaliatory, while the LAPD union denounced diverting officers and taxpayer funds to protect a private citizen.
