U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has been residing without charge in Quarters 1 at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, a waterfront residence traditionally reserved for the Coast Guard commandant, according to a Washington Post report published Friday. The arrangement, described by senior military officials as highly unusual for a civilian Cabinet member, began earlier this year and has prompted questions within the Department of Homeland Security and on Capitol Hill. DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said Noem relocated after her Washington apartment address was posted online, triggering what the department calls a “vicious doxxing” campaign and a spike in death threats. McLaughlin cited a 1,000% increase in assaults against DHS personnel and said Noem continues to pay rent on her private Navy Yard residence while using the military quarters on a temporary basis for security reasons. Several Democrats, including Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut, criticized the use of coveted military housing, calling it an inappropriate use of resources. DHS officials counter that the move follows standard protective-service recommendations. The Coast Guard has not said when its commandant will next occupy Quarters 1, and DHS has not provided a timeline for Noem’s return to private housing.
