(WASHINGTON) – Today, Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS), Ranking Member of the Committee on Homeland Security, released the following statement after reports that President Trump abruptly stripped former Vice President Kamala Harris of her Secret Service protection without justification. This unprecedented decision comes at a time of heightened political threats against elected leaders and raises serious concerns about retaliation and the safety of former officials.

“Donald Trump suddenly yanking Vice President Kamala Harris’s Secret Service protection without any sound reason shows the American people that he cares about little else besides retribution—and thinks nothing of putting lives at risk.”
