Trump Cancels Former Vice President Kamala Harris’ Secret Service Protection

The action reverses an order of Former President Biden

President Donald Trump has ordered the Secret Service to stop providing a protection detail and other protective measures for former Vice President Kamala Harris, revoking an order signed in January by then-president Joe Biden to extend her security until January 2026.

Trump issued the directive Thursday in the form of a memorandum to the agency informing officials that they were "hereby authorized to discontinue any security-related procedures previously authorized by Executive Memorandum" with regard to Harris, who under normal circumstances would have lost her protection on July 20 — six months after the end of her term.

The end of Harris' protective detail and the existence of the memorandum was first reported by CNN. Since returning to office, Trump has used his authority over the Secret Service to punish perceived political adversaries by removing previously authorized protective details.
