Overview

• Biden had quietly extended Harris’s protection beyond the six months set by law, reportedly through July 2026, but Trump rescinded the extension in a memo to DHS.
• The change lands just before Harris begins a 15-stop tour for her memoir, 107 Days, with the book releasing Sept. 23 and events starting Sept. 24.
• Ending the federal detail removes 24/7 agents, Secret Service threat-intelligence monitoring, and protection of her Los Angeles residence, increasing security and cost concerns.
• California officials including Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass criticized the move, and the California Highway Patrol is reported to be preparing to provide protection.
• Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, lost his personal detail on July 21 under standard rules for a former vice president’s spouse.
