Trespasser reaches Kamala Harris' Malibu gate

In brief
A woman walked onto Harris' cliffside property Friday night, and the response says a lot about who is guarding her now. Harris' security is now a patchwork of local agencies after Trump revoked her extended Secret Service detail, and Friday night showed the seams. Originally reported by Los Angeles Times.
A woman on the property
On Friday evening a trespasser entered the Malibu cliffside home of former Vice President Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff. Private security stopped her before she reached the house.
“security personnel stopped an individual who illegally entered Vice President Harris and Second Gentleman Emhoff's property”
Nobody was home
Harris and Emhoff were away, said spokesperson Eduardo Negron, who declined to say where the couple were. They thanked the security and law enforcement who responded.
Deputies arrived at 10:30
On-site security called the L.A. County Sheriff's Department, which covers Malibu. Deputies showed up around 10:30 p.m. The woman, still unidentified, agreed to leave and was not arrested.
“We are stepping up patrols of the property to be safe.”
Trump ended the extension
Former vice presidents get six months of Secret Service coverage. Biden extended Harris' protection; Trump, who beat her in 2024, revoked that extension in August 2025.
The LAPD walked away
California and Los Angeles agencies scrambled to fill the gap. The LAPD quit quickly after criticism that pulling officers onto Harris' detail was costing the city crime fighting capacity.
A thinner net now
The California Highway Patrol still helps with Harris' detail, but CHP Sgt. Christian Stevens said its officers were not on site Friday night.
The headline
Harris' security is now a patchwork of local agencies after Trump revoked her extended Secret Service detail, and Friday night showed the seams.
