Trump has revoked Kamala Harris’ extended Secret Service protection, citing no heightened threat to warrant continuation.
WASHINGTON — President Trump has revoked former Vice President Kamala Harris’ Secret Service protection, a senior White House official confirmed to CBS News on Thursday.
Under federal law, former vice presidents and their families typically receive protection for six months after leaving office. However, heightened security concerns in recent years prompted extensions beyond that period. President Joe Biden signed an executive order in January 2025 granting Harris an 18-month extension.
The Trump administration reversed that decision this week. An executive memorandum directed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to rescind Harris’ detail, effective Sept. 1, officials said. The order was then forwarded to the Secret Service, which confirmed compliance.
A Secret Service threat assessment found “nothing alarming” that would justify continuing Harris’ protection past the statutory period, sources told CBS News.
Kirsten Allen, a senior adviser to Harris, said, “The Vice President is grateful to the United States Secret Service for their professionalism, dedication, and unwavering commitment to safety.”
The move is consistent with Trump’s previous decisions to end extended Secret Service coverage for figures including John Bolton and President Biden’s adult children.
