US President Donald Trump stripped Kamala Harris of the protection of the Secret Service, according to what US media reports.
Former US presidents receive protection from the Secret Service throughout their lives. Harris, as a former vice president, received six months of protection after leaving office, according to federal law.
This period ended on July 21. However, her protection had been extended for an additional year through a directive, so far unmade public, signed by then-President Joe Biden shortly before leaving office, according to many people familiar with the undisclosed deal.
This is the order that Trump canceled in his letter, titled "Memorandum to the Secretary of Homeland Security" and dated Thursday.
"You hereby are authorized to discontinue any security-related proceedings previously authorized by the Executive Memorandum, beyond those required by law, for the following individual, beginning September 1, 2025: Former Vice President Kamala D. Harris," the full letter reads.
