Malibu trespass stopped
Security stopped an alleged trespasser on former Vice President Kamala Harris’s Malibu property on Friday night, with Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, not present at the time.
“‘Vice President Harris and Second Gentleman Emhoff were not present.”
Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies responded to a suspicious person call at 10:30 p.m. Friday and made contact with the private security detail on the property, then warned the individual and advised them to leave.
Eduardo Negrón, a spokesperson for Harris, said, “Vice President Harris and Second Gentleman Emhoff were not present.”
Julia Ann Tafoya, a spokesperson with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, said deputies “left voluntarily without incident,” and a trespassing report was taken with no arrests made.
Security scrutiny and patrols
The incident renewed scrutiny of Harris’ security after President Donald Trump revoked her U.S. Secret Service protection last year, leaving state and local agencies to coordinate coverage.
Eduardo Negrón told reporters, “They are grateful to the security and law enforcement personnel who responded swiftly,” as deputies warned the person outside the property and the individual left voluntarily.
Lt. Jason Duron said, “We are stepping up patrols of the property to be safe,” describing the response as a precaution after the woman agreed to leave.
The Los Angeles Times reported that the California Highway Patrol continues to assist Harris’ security detail, but that its officers were not on-site Friday night, according to CHP Sgt. Christian Stevens.
Protection timeline and next steps
The Malibu trespass came after Harris’ Secret Service protection was discontinued, with CNN noting that former vice presidents typically receive six months of protection after leaving office. NBC News reported that a senior White House official said vice presidents typically only get six months of protection after leaving office, while Joe Biden signed a memorandum in January 2025 extending Harris’ protection to 18 months.
“Joe Biden signed a memorandum in January 2025 extending Harris’ protection to 18 months.”
In April, Harris said she was considering a new presidential campaign and told the 2026 National Action Network Convention, “I spent countless hours in the Oval Office and the Situation Room.” CNN added that Harris, who does not have a Secret Service detail, indicated in the aftermath of her loss to Trump that her next steps included considering a run for governor of California or another run for president in 2028, before she later ruled out a run for the governor’s mansion.
