Trump Ends Kamala Harris’s Secret Service Extension

Trump Revokes Kamala Harris’s Extended Secret Service Protection

Date: August 29, 2025



Washington, D.C. — President Donald Trump has revoked the extended U.S. Secret Service protection for former Vice President Kamala Harris, ending a security detail that had been prolonged by former President Joe Biden beyond the standard six-month period for ex-vice presidents. The change is set to take effect on September 1, 2025. 0

Key Points

  • What changed: Federal law provides six months of post-office protection for former vice presidents. Biden had quietly extended Harris’s coverage; Trump has now rescinded that extension. 1
  • Effective date: Protection ends September 1, 2025, according to a directive dated August 28. 2
  • Timing: The move precedes Harris’s planned nationwide tour to promote her memoir 107 Days in late September. 3

Reactions

California officials and other critics called the decision politically motivated and risky, while a White House official said recent assessments found no reason to continue the extra protection. 4

What the Rules Say

Under 18 U.S.C. § 3056 and related policy, former vice presidents receive protection for six months; any extension is discretionary and can be modified by the sitting president. 5

What’s Next

Harris’s team may rely on state/local law enforcement or private security during public appearances if federal protection ends as scheduled. 6
