Overview

• An executive memorandum to the Department of Homeland Security orders the discontinuation of any protection beyond what law requires for Harris starting September 1, 2025.
• Federal law grants former vice presidents six months of protection that ended for Harris on July 21, but then‑President Joe Biden had privately extended her coverage via an undisclosed directive.
• Ending the federal detail removes 24/7 agents, threat‑intelligence monitoring, and home protection, and aides say comparable private security could cost millions of dollars annually.
• Harris is set to launch a 15‑stop tour for her memoir, 107 Days, beginning September 24 with events in New York and abroad in London and Toronto.
• A senior White House official confirmed the revocation, California officials criticized the move, and coverage notes both a recent assessment finding no specific red flags and a broader pattern of Trump rescinding protections for perceived adversaries including Biden’s adult children.
