Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has temporarily relocated to secure military housing after facing what the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) describes as a surge in death threats and “vicious doxxing” on the dark web, as reported by Fox News.
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital on Friday that the move was necessary following the publication of the location of Noem’s Washington, D.C., apartment.

“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,” McLaughlin said.

“Due to threats and security concerns, she has been forced to temporarily stay in secure military housing. Secretary Noem continues to pay rent for her Navy Yard residence.”
McLaughlin also criticized the exposure of Noem’s residence. “It’s a shame that the media chooses sensationalism over the safety of people enforcing America’s laws to keep Americans safe,” she added.
The department says the threats against Noem include those from criminal networks and terrorist organizations targeted by DHS operations. Noem’s relocation comes as she continues to oversee enforcement operations against high-risk individuals in the country illegally.
Last week, Noem said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are now facing a 1,000% increase in assaults as they work to apprehend what she called “the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens.”

“We will not and have not let this violence stop us or slow us down,” Noem posted on X. “Every day our law enforcement continues to enforce the law and arrest the most depraved criminals including pedophiles, terrorists, murderers, gang members, and sexual predators.”
In July, Fox News Digital reported that ICE officials faced an 830% increase in assaults between Jan. 21, 2025, and July 14, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. That timeframe began the day after President Donald Trump returned to office.
Noem, who became Homeland Security Secretary under the Trump administration, has emphasized the department’s focus on apprehending violent offenders and maintaining aggressive enforcement operations despite rising threats against DHS personnel.
An arraignment or further legal actions related to the threats against Noem has not been announced. DHS has not provided details on whether arrests have been made in connection to the threats.
