Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies responded Friday night to a reported trespasser at former Vice President Kamala Harris’ Malibu home after private security personnel stopped the person before they reached the residence, officials said.
Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, were not at the property during the incident, according to Eduardo Negrón, a spokesperson for Harris.
“Last night, security personnel stopped an individual who illegally entered Vice President Harris and Second Gentleman Emhoff’s property before the individual reached the home,” Negrón said. “Vice President Harris and Second Gentleman Emhoff were not present. They are grateful to the security and law enforcement personnel who responded swiftly.”
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said deputies from the Malibu/Lost Hills station responded at about 10:30 p.m. Friday to a “suspicious person” call at the residence. When deputies arrived, they spoke with the private security detail on the property, the department said.
“The individual who was outside of the property upon our arrival was warned and advised by deputies to leave the premises and left voluntarily without incident,” the sheriff’s department said in a statement.
No arrests were made. The department said deputies took a trespassing report and that the Malibu/Lost Hills station would increase patrols in the area as a precaution.
TMZ first reported the incident, according to NBC News.
The response at Harris’ home follows President Donald Trump’s decision last August to revoke an extension of her U.S. Secret Service protection. Former vice presidents typically receive federal protection for six months after leaving office, while former presidents receive protection for life, CBS News reported.
NBC News reported that Congress passed a 2008 law allowing Secret Service details for former vice presidents, their spouses and their children under 16 for up to six months after a vice president leaves office. Then-President Joe Biden signed a memorandum in January 2025 extending Harris’ protection to 18 months. CBS News reported that the extension otherwise would have ended this summer.
A senior White House official who confirmed the revocation last August noted that vice presidents typically receive only six months of protection after leaving office, NBC News reported.
