The California Highway Patrol (CHP) has offered to provide protection for former Vice President Harris after President Trump canceled her Secret Service protection, according to new reporting from the Los Angeles Times, which cited law enforcement sources.

The Times, in a report published Friday, said the CHP offer came in the wake of discussions between the offices of California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D).

The CHP declined to provide further information when reached by The Hill.

“Respectfully, the California Highway Patrol does not comment on security arrangements,” said CHP office of media relations spokesperson Lt. Matt Gutierrez. The office of Newsom, who would need to sign off on the protection, could not be immediately reached for comment by The Hill. Newsom’s office declined to provide further comment to The Times.

Harris’s protection was revoked through a letter titled “Memorandum for the Secretary of Homeland Security” dated Thursday. Her protections are set to end Sept. 1, according to CNN.

“You are hereby authorized to discontinue any security-related procedures previously authorized by Executive Memorandum, beyond those required by law, for the following individual, effective September 1, 2025: Former Vice President Kamala D. Harris,” reads the letter, a copy of which was obtained by CNN.

Harris’s security protections ran for six months following the end of the Biden administration, as is standard for vice presidents; however, former President Biden extended the deadline for protection by a year before leaving office, per CNN. Presidents receive lifetime Secret Service protection.

Bass denounced Trump’s decision to revoke Harris’s Secret Service protection in a statement to The Hill, saying she will work with Newsom to ensure Harris’s safety.

“This is another act of revenge following a long list of political retaliation in the form of firings, the revoking of security clearances and more,” Bass said. “This puts the former Vice President in danger and I look forward to working with the Governor to make sure Vice President Harris is safe in Los Angeles.”
