Overview

• Trump issued a memorandum to the Homeland Security secretary authorizing an end to any protection beyond what the law requires for Harris, according to copies reviewed by major outlets.
• Then-President Joe Biden had quietly extended Harris’s post‑vice‑presidential protection to roughly 18 months, a move the new order cancels.
• The termination removes 24/7 agents and the Secret Service’s continuous threat‑intelligence work, and federal coverage of her Los Angeles residence will cease.
• The move comes weeks before Harris begins a multi‑city tour for her memoir “107 Days,” increasing her public exposure during scheduled events.
• California officials, including Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, criticized the decision as unsafe, as aides weigh local police or costly private protection that would lack federal intelligence integration.
