Kamala Harris is once again at the center of controversy — and this time, Los Angeles families may be paying the price.
A shocking new report reveals that President Donald Trump officially revoked Kamala Harris’ taxpayer-funded Secret Service protection, effective September 1. In a desperate scramble to keep Harris safe, Los Angeles officials quietly reassigned 14 elite LAPD Metro Division officers to serve as her personal security detail.
According to FOX 11 Los Angeles, these highly trained officers were “pulled from active cases and crime suppression efforts”, leaving fewer police on the streets of a city already battling skyrocketing violent crime and homelessness.
Exclusive Footage: Police Guarding Harris’ $5 Million Mansion
Investigative reporters even captured video of an unmarked LAPD SUV parked outside Harris’ luxurious $5.2 million Brentwood estate, where she now lives with her husband, Doug Emhoff.
Critics say this proves that Democratic leaders prioritize protecting their own power and privilege rather than keeping everyday Americans safe.
“This is outrageous,” one local resident told reporters. “We can’t get police to respond to calls about drug crime or break-ins, but Kamala Harris gets 14 officers to guard her mansion? It’s a disgrace.”
Biden Quietly Extended Kamala’s Protection
Under federal law, former vice presidents get Secret Service defense for up to 6 months after departing from office. Harris’ detail was originally set to expire on July 21.
However, President Joe Biden secretly extended her detail for a full year before leaving office — a move that was never publicly announced.
President Trump has now reversed that decision, arguing that taxpayer resources should protect the American people, not failed politicians.
Democrats Lash Out, Call Trump “Vindictive”
Liberal leaders reacted with outrage. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass accused Trump of political “revenge,” saying in a statement:
“This puts the former vice president in danger. I look forward to working with the governor to ensure Kamala Harris is safe here in Los Angeles.”
California Governor Gavin Newsom is reportedly considering deploying California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers to guard Harris — at state taxpayers’ expense.
A spokesperson for Newsom did not confirm the plan but criticized Trump, saying:
“The safety of public officials should never be subject to erratic, vindictive political impulses.”
Trump Cracks Down on Political Perks
Earlier this year, President Trump also ended taxpayer-funded security for several Biden-era insiders, including Hunter Biden, Ashley Biden, Dr. Anthony Fauci, former DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
Conservatives have applauded these moves, arguing that Washington elites have abused taxpayer dollars for too long.
Why This Matters
- 14 LAPD officers were pulled from crime-fighting duties to protect Harris.
- Los Angeles already faces record levels of violent crime and homelessness.
- Taxpayer dollars are at stake as Democrats consider expanding protection for political insiders.
- Trump’s decision reflects his promise to “put America first” and end special privileges for failed politicians.
With police resources stretched thin, many Los Angeles residents are left wondering: Who is protecting their neighborhoods while Harris gets VIP treatment?
Neither Harris’ office nor the LAPD responded to requests for comment.
