Security Stops Trespasser at Kamala Harris' $8 Million Malibu Property

3 articles · Updated · CNN · Sep 13

Summary

  • Deputies responded around 10:30 p.m. Friday after private security stopped a person who had illegally entered Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff’s Malibu property before reaching the home.
  • The individual was outside the property when Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies arrived, was warned to leave, and left voluntarily without incident; no arrest was made.
  • Harris and Emhoff were not at the residence, and the sheriff’s department said it took a trespassing report and will increase patrols as a precaution.
  • The episode renews scrutiny of Harris’ security because she no longer has Secret Service protection, which would have expired months ago even after Joe Biden had extended it for an extra year.
  • It also lands amid broader fears of political violence and as Harris weighs a possible 2028 presidential run after ruling out a bid for California governor.
