California Mobilizes CHP for Kamala Harris After Trump Revokes Secret Service Protection

Former Vice President Kamala Harris is now under the protection of the California Highway Patrol (CHP) following President Donald Trump’s decision to revoke her Secret Service detail. Law enforcement sources confirmed Friday that California officials swiftly implemented a plan to ensure Harris’s safety after Trump formally ended her extended security coverage.

Trump signed a memorandum on Thursday, effective this coming Monday, discontinuing Harris’s Secret Service protection. This move overrides a previous order by then-President Biden, which had extended Harris’s security until July 2026—a request made by her aides. Without this extension, her protection would have ceased last month.

The decision prompted immediate discussions between Governor Gavin Newsom’s office and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass on Thursday evening. While Newsom’s office declined to comment on security arrangements, a spokesperson stated, “The safety of our public officials should never be subject to erratic, vindictive political impulses.” Mayor Bass condemned the action as “another act of revenge” and expressed commitment to ensuring Harris’s safety in Los Angeles, where she resides.

This curtailment of protection comes as Harris prepares to embark on a 15-stop book tour for her memoir, “107 Days,” which is set to begin next month, including international visits. The move also follows a pattern, with Trump having previously stripped Secret Service protection from other former allies turned critics and and even Biden’s children during his second term.
