Police Respond to Trespasser at Harris' Malibu Home
A woman illegally entered the Malibu property of former Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday evening. Security personnel stopped her before she reached the home; Harris and Doug Emhoff were not present.
- 10:30 p.m. was when Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies arrived on scene.
- The woman left voluntarily and was not arrested or cited.
- The woman arrived by Uber, left after being turned away, then returned.
- $8 million is the reported value of the Malibu property.
Why it matters: Harris has had no Secret Service protection since Trump revoked Biden's coverage extension in August 2025. Former vice presidents typically receive only six months of protection after leaving office.
- The LAPD had stepped in to fill the gap but later dropped its involvement amid criticism it was straining department resources.
- It is unclear whether the guards who responded Friday were private security or state law enforcement.
