Overview

• An executive memorandum reviewed by multiple outlets instructs DHS to discontinue Harris’s non-statutory protection, and a senior White House official confirmed the move.
• Reporting says Biden’s extension would have stretched her protection to 18 months, through July 2026, while Doug Emhoff’s spouse detail ended July 21 under standard rules.
• Harris is set to launch a 15-stop tour for her memoir, 107 Days, beginning Sept. 24, with events in U.S. cities and abroad in London and Toronto.
• The end of the federal detail removes 24/7 agents and access to Secret Service threat intelligence; aides note similar private protection could cost millions annually.
• California officials, including Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, criticized the revocation and are discussing local security options, as the administration points to internal assessments showing no current red flags.
