Kamala Harris’ Stepdaughter Ella Emhoff’s Secret Service Entangled in Confrontation with Irate New Yorker
Kamala Harris’ stepdaughter, Ella Emhoff, recently found herself in a precarious situation in New York City when her Secret Service detail clashed with an angry local, resulting in an arrest.
According to law enforcement sources, Ella, daughter of Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, was grabbing lunch at a Tribeca restaurant on Tuesday afternoon while her Secret Service detail kept watch outside.
During this time, one of her plainclothes agents got into an altercation with a self-proclaimed “anti-police watcher,” who frequently targets NYPD parking placards issued to law enforcement agencies.
This individual, who was not aware that the agent was part of Ella’s Secret Service detail, confronted him over the parking placard, assuming he was a police officer abusing his privileges.
The altercation, which was partially captured on video, escalated when the man removed a license plate from one of the Secret Service vehicles, prompting the police to be called.
The man was subsequently arrested, although the exact charges are unclear. Meanwhile, Ella and her friend, who had been inside the restaurant during the incident, were quickly escorted out and placed in an SUV for their safety.
The Secret Service has confirmed that the individual was detained and arrested for tampering with their vehicle’s license plate without a valid reason, and that Ella was not in danger at any point during the incident.
