Aug. 30 (UPI) — The California Highway Patrol reportedly will provide security protection for former Vice President Kamala Harris after she lost her Secret Service protection on Thursday.

California officials on Friday bestowed dignitary status on Harris, who has been a private citizen since leaving office on Jan. 19, and will provide her with security protection instead of the Secret Service, The Los Angeles Times reported.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom must sign off on CHP-provided security protection for Harris, but his office declined to comment on the matter.

“Our office does not comment on security arrangements,” Newsom spokesperson Izzy Gordon told The Los Angeles Times.

Harris lives in Los Angeles and has a pending 15-city book tour that starts in New York City on Sept. 24, according to USA Today.

The book tour is scheduled to last for 107 days, which would have required advance Secret Service work if Harris’ protection were to continue.

Outgoing vice presidents receive Secret Service protection for six months after leaving office, but President Joe Biden extended Harris’protection beyond six months upon a request from her aides.

Harris continued benefiting from the protection until President Donald Trump ended it as of Monday via a signed memorandum on Thursday.

The president also had ended Secret Service protection for his adult children, Hunter and Ashley Biden, after their father extended the protection to them through July.

Hunter Biden recently traveled to South Africa with his Secret Service team, The Washington Post reported.

Only former presidents and first ladies receive lifetime Secret Service protection in accordance with federal law.

Ending Harris’ extended protection also ends all extended protections provided by the former president just before Biden left office in January.
