LAPD and CHP Step In to Protect Kamala Harris After Trump Revokes Secret Service Detail

In a significant move, former President Trump has revoked the Secret Service protection for Kamala Harris, which had been previously extended by an undisclosed order from the Biden administration. This decision has led to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) and California Highway Patrol (CHP) stepping in to provide 24/7 security for the former Vice President. The LAPD has allocated personnel from other cases to ensure her protection, raising concerns about the cost to taxpayers and the implications of such security arrangements. As Harris prepares for a nationwide book tour, the transition to LAPD and CHP protection is expected to incur substantial expenses. The changes have sparked debates about the appropriateness and necessity of withdrawing Secret Service detail for political figures.
