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.”

Ponch and John will protect her.
She already has had one month over the requirement set by RATs in 2008. They made it 6 months. That is all Pence got.
Well, if she hits the wine boxes too hard, the Ca Hwy Patrol can load her into the trunk and cart her home.
This does not seem like vengeance. It sounds like he’s merely restoring her protection back to what it would normally be.
Why did Butt-Head extend her protection, anyway?
If someone disses Kamala and rushes away in an SUV, Ponch and Jon can jump out of a CHiPs helicopter, leap onto the speeding vehicle, arrest the culprit while yanking the wheel away and helping him jump out just before it hits a retaining wall and bursts into a huge fireball of destruction.
True background note.

He fulfilled a lifelong dream and became a reserve police officer in Muncie, Indiana, and later worked as an Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) investigator for the Bedford County Sheriff’s Office in Virginia. He also served as a reserve officer for the St. Anthony Police Department in Idaho.”

Irreplaceable icon of TV.
My friend’s son-in-law is CA Highway Patrol. Not sure he’d be thrilled to have this duty.

Ia anyone else getting as tired as me about the misinformation spewed by the media and the democrats?
A FORMER VICE PRESIDENT ORDINARILY IS GIVEN 6 MONTHS OF SS PROTECTION AFTER LEAVING OFFICE.
Yet, the media is making this a story of retaliation and democrats are piling on.
Maye she is planning to run for some elected office. Announcing next year just as her SS protection ends. Then she can roll that into another protection scam.
Her excuse would be that she is a high value target and would need extra security.
