DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is staying at a military base in Washington, D.C., due to safety concerns after receiving death threats and doxing over photos of her home published online. The move came after the Daily Mail released photos outside her residence, with Noem now occupying the usual home of the Coast Guard commandant at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling rent-free.
Noem’s decision to leave her Navy Yard apartment followed concerns that she was “so horribly doxxed and targeted” by media outlets. Despite this, she still pays rent at her Navy Yard residence. As head of DHS, Noem received a security detail, which increased following the story in the Mail.
The move has raised eyebrows among lawmakers, with Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy questioning why Noem, who earns around $200,000 a year, is living rent-free in a home meant for top maritime officials.
