File photo: Former Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff
A trespasser was stopped at former US Vice President Kamala Harris’ Malibu property Friday night after private security spotted the individual entering the premises, authorities and Harris’ spokesperson said.
Former President Joe Biden had extended Harris’ federal protection beyond the standard six-month period for former vice presidents, but President Donald Trump ended that protection in 2025.
Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, were not at the property at the time, spokesperson Eduardo Negrón said to news agency NewsNation. Deputies warned the trespasser to leave, and the person left voluntarily without incident, the department said. Authorities said patrols around the property were being increased as a precaution. California governor Gavin Newsom said the California Highway Patrol would take over security responsibilities for Harris.
He added that security personnel present stopped the individual before they could get to the actual house. Negrón also mentioned that Harris and her husband were grateful to the security and law enforcement personnel who responded swiftly. The incident has also drawn renewed attention to Harris’ security arrangements. The cost of the state-funded security detail has not been disclosed.
