Overview
- Stephen Miller and his family have relocated to Washington-area military housing, joining a growing group of senior Trump appointees, according to new reporting from The Atlantic.
- Confirmed placements include Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling after being doxxed, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Generals’ Row at Fort McNair, officials say.
- The influx is taxing accommodations intended for top uniformed officers, with Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s request to move to Fort McNair initially blocked for space reasons, according to officials cited in the reports.
- Officials and spokespeople cite doxxing, threats, and recent political violence as motivations, and note that base living adds protection and reduces exposure to protests.
- Scholars and critics warn the practice blurs civilian–military boundaries and risks politicizing the military, while security experts acknowledge that credible threats affect figures across parties.
