August 29, (THEWILL) — US President, Donald Trump, has revoked former vice President Kamala Harris’ extended Secret Service protection, cancelling a Biden-era order.
The decision, outlined in a memorandum dated Thursday, will take effect from September 1, 2025.
Under United States federal law, former US presidents are protected by the law enforcement agency for life after leaving office, ex-vice presidents receive protection for six months
Harris’ entitlement ended on July 21, 2024. However, Biden had signed an undisclosed directive that granted her an additional year of coverage. It was this extension that Trump canceled in his memorandum addressed to the Secretary of Homeland Security.
The letter reads: “You are hereby authorised to discontinue any security-related procedures previously authorised by Executive Memorandum, beyond those required by law, for the following individual, effective September 1, 2025: Former Vice President Kamala D. Harris.”
