The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said Secretary Kristi Noem has been temporarily moved to government housing on Joint Base Anacostia–Bolling after what the agency described as a surge in credible threats, including menaces from drug cartels and terrorist organizations. DHS said Noem’s personal address was published without authorization, leaving her unable to remain in her private apartment safely. The announcement follows a Washington Post report that the secretary has been occupying, without rent, a residence traditionally assigned to the commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard. DHS rejected suggestions of impropriety, saying the relocation was made solely for security reasons and characterizing the Post’s disclosure of the address as “doxxing.” Questions over the arrangement come as Noem increasingly features in immigration enforcement initiatives. Florida’s attorney general this week publicly thanked her for arranging a U.S. Coast Guard aircraft used in the state’s first deportation flight from Tallahassee, underscoring the department’s broadened operational ties with state officials.
