Trump Ends Secret Service Protection for Former VP Kamala Harris

News summary

U.S. President Donald Trump has canceled the Secret Service protection for former Vice President Kamala Harris, ending an extension that had been granted by then-President Joe Biden. By federal law, former vice presidents are entitled to six months of protection after leaving office, a period which ended for Harris on July 21, 2025. Biden had quietly extended Harris' security detail for an additional year through a directive that was not publicly disclosed until now. Trump's revocation, effective September 1, 2025, directs the Department of Homeland Security to discontinue any security measures beyond those required by law. This protection includes physical security, threat analysis, and monitoring activities. The decision has prompted discussions about alternative security arrangements for Harris, which could involve local law enforcement and significant additional costs.
