Overview

• A memorandum reviewed by multiple outlets authorizes Homeland Security to discontinue Harris’s additional protection starting September 1.
• Harris’s coverage had quietly been extended beyond the six months allowed by law under a directive signed by Joe Biden before leaving office.
• The cancellation removes 24/7 agents, federal threat intelligence and protection of her Los Angeles residence, with similar private security likely costing millions annually.
• Harris is scheduled for a 15-city tour tied to her memoir “107 Days,” which is set for release on September 23 with events beginning the next day, including stops in London and Toronto.
• California officials, including Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, were briefed and criticized the move, which follows earlier revocations of protections for figures such as Hunter and Ashley Biden and John Bolton.
