Homeland Security Secretary Krisi Noem has been compelled to temporarily relocate to military housing due to a series of threats and "vicious doxxing" incidents on the dark web.
These threats reportedly originate from terrorist groups and cartels, posing a significant risk to her safety.
According to The Post Millennial, Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated, Following the medias publishing of the location of Secretary Noems Washington, DC 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 further explained that due to these security concerns, Noem has been forced to seek refuge in secure military housing, although she continues to pay rent for her Navy Yard residence.
The threats against Secretary Noem come amid a reported 1000 percent increase in assaults on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. This surge in violence coincides with the Trump administration's intensified efforts to address illegal immigration through arrests and deportations.
McLaughlin criticized the media for prioritizing sensationalism over the safety of those enforcing the nation's laws, stating, "Its a shame that the media chooses sensationalism over the safety of people enforcing Americas laws to keep Americans safe."
Despite these challenges, Noem remains resolute, asserting, "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."
Earlier this year, Noem experienced a personal security breach unrelated to her DHS role when her purse was stolen by an illegal immigrant during a family dinner in Washington, DC. The suspect, Mario Bustamante-Leiva, was apprehended, along with a second illegal immigrant accused of being an accomplice in the theft.
