A trespasser was reported Friday night at the Kamala Harris Malibu home, according to Los Angeles County officials and a spokesperson for the former vice president.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said deputies were dispatched around 10:30 p.m. after Harris’ private security detail called in a suspicious person at the property.
Deputies contacted the individual and advised them to leave, officials said. The person departed voluntarily and there was no confrontation.
“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,” spokesperson Eduardo Negrón said in a statement. He added that Harris and Doug Emhoff were not present and expressed gratitude to security and law enforcement for their swift response.
The Sheriff’s Department said a trespassing report was filed and that patrols from the local station would be increased in the neighborhood as a precaution.
Former vice presidents typically receive federal protection for six months after leaving office, while former presidents receive protection for life. Then-President Joe Biden extended Harris’ protection beyond the standard six months, but President Donald Trump revoked that extension last August. The protection otherwise would have ended this summer.
