Federal officials have confirmed that Kristi Noem, the chief of the Department of Homeland Security for President Donald Trump, has been moved into secure housing – away from her personal residence – because of the death threats she’s been getting.
“Following the media’s publishing of the location of Secretary Noem’s Washington D.C. apartment, she has faced vicious doxxing on the dark web and a surge in death threats, including from the terrorist organizations, cartels, and criminal gangs that DHS targets. Due to threats and security concerns, she has been forced to temporarily stay in secure military housing,” explained Tricia McLaughlin, assistant DHS secretary.
She confirmed, “Secretary Noem continues to pay rent for her Navy Yard residence,” but said, “It’s a shame that the media chooses sensationalism over the safety of people enforcing America’s laws to keep Americans safe.”
A report at Fox News said the problem revolves around “vicious doxxing.”
Noem herself confirmed just days ago that agents for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement “are now facing a 1000% increase in assaults against them as they risk their lives to arrest the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens.”

An online report explained twice now reporters “from the Washington Post” released her home address.
Noem has said, online, “We will not and have not let this violence stop us or slow us down. Everyday our law enforcement continues to enforce the law and arrest the most depraved criminals including pedophiles, terrorists, murderers, gang members, and sexual predators.”
