The California Highway Patrol will provide protection to former Vice President Kamala Harris after President Donald Trump revoked her Secret Service coverage, the Los Angeles Times reported Friday, citing law enforcement sources.

Trump signed a memorandum Thursday ending Harris’ protection as of Monday. The CHP did not respond to a request for comment Saturday.

Former vice presidents usually get Secret Service protection for six months after leaving office. But before his term ended, former President Joe Biden had extended Harris’ protection beyond six months, to July 2026, at her request, according to media reports. Trump’s vice president from his first term, Mike Pence, did not have extended Secret Service protection beyond the standard six months.

Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass have been in talks on how to address the situation. Harris lives in the Los Angeles area.
