Former Vice President Kamala Harris will receive protection from the California Highway Patrol after President Trump revoked her Secret Service protection, law enforcement sources said Friday.
California officials put in place a plan to provide Harris with dignitary protection after Trump ended an arrangement that gave his opponent in last year’s election extended Secret Service security coverage. Trump signed a memorandum on Thursday ending Harris’ protection as of Monday, according to sources not authorized to discuss the security matter.
Former vice presidents usually get Secret Service protection for six months after leaving office, while ex-presidents get protection for life. But before his term ended, then-President Biden signed an order to extend Harris’ protection beyond six months to July 2026. Aides to Harris had asked Biden for the extension. Without it, her security detail would have ended last month, according to sources.
Gov. Gavin Newsom, who would need to sign off on such CHP protection, would not confirm the arrangement. “Our office does not comment on security arrangements,” said Izzy Gordon, a spokesperson for Newsom. “The safety of our public officials should never be subject to erratic, vindictive political impulses.”
The decision came after Newsom’s office and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass were in discussions Thursday evening on how best to address the situation. Harris resides in the western portion of Los Angeles. Bass in a statement, said “This is another act of revenge following a long list of political retaliation in the form of firings, the revoking of security clearances and more. This puts the former Vice President in danger and I look forward to working with the governor to make sure Vice President Harris is safe in Los Angeles.”

Crooked to the bitter freaking end....SMH
“Get me another 10 boxes of wine, you peasants!”
“Trump pulls secret service detail”?
What entitles her to secret service protection?
What...is Kamablah afraid that someone will climb on a roof top and shoot at her with a high powered rifle?
LOLOLOL ... Good!
And, good luck, CHP.
As a former VP, maybe?
How many other private citizens are extended CHP security details?
Yes but the norm I understand was an ex VP got 6 months of secret service protection after they left office... Apparently Biden extended something special for her so the reality is Trump just put it back to normal
Can CHP protect her out of state without being arrested for firearms violation felonies? That would be so humorous if that happened.
“As a former VP, maybe?”
No. She’s entitled to six months after leaving office. Google it like I did
She’s overstayed that privilege by a month. One month of free driving and coffee fetching.
Trump called her on it so it’s he who’s taking it away, not the congress who enacted the law
Meanwhile let’s get back to ‘no, government money is not monopoly money’
That’s paid for by you and me. Doormat tax payers
“How many other private citizens are extended CHP security details?”
California is such a mess
Broderick Crawford ain’t happy.
A case of the Crooked Protecting The Crooked:
54 Current or Former California Highway Patrol Cops Charged in Fraud Scheme
CHP history of corruption and criminal conspiracy is extensive.
One why to beat a DWI rap
So will the CHP accompany her to London when she goes there to hawk her book?
😂😂😂😂😂👍
“””So will the CHP accompany her to London when she goes there to hawk her book?””””
How much you wanna bet she cancels some of these events and blames it on security concerns? She expected to play the bigshot by showing up at these events with a dozen black Suburbans full of agents protecting her. Now she finds out she is just a nobody.
Nothing.
