LAPD, CHP Provide Security After Trump Ends Harris Secret Service Detail

Former Vice President Kamala Harris's Secret Service protection was revoked by President Donald Trump, ending the extended coverage that had been granted beyond the standard six months by former President Joe Biden. In response, the Los Angeles Police Department and the California Highway Patrol have stepped in to provide temporary security to Harris to prevent any lapse in protection. This move by Trump has been criticized by local officials and police unions as politically motivated and a misuse of local law enforcement resources. The Secret Service had assessed that there were no credible threats warranting extended protection for Harris. Harris is currently preparing for a book tour to promote her memoir "107 Days," a timing that Democrats say makes the revocation look like another attack on her. Local leaders argue that the safety of public officials should not be subject to political retaliation and express concern about the burden placed on local agencies for her security.
