White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller and his family moved from their home in Arlington to military housing in D.C.
That’s according to new reporting by The Atlantic and a source with knowledge of the situation who spoke to ARLnow after our exclusive reporting that Miller’s north Arlington home was listed for sale.
The home remains on the market, listed at $3.75 million. Miller, his wife — the podcaster Katie Miller — and their three children moved a week or two after a sidewalk chalk protest in front of their home and in a nearby park.
The protest, which was planned in advance and was one of several such demonstrations in front of the home since the start of 2025, happened just days after the assassination of Charlie Kirk in Utah. In social posts and television appearances, Katie Miller decried the targeting of her family by local activists.
The Atlantic reports that the family was reluctant to move but there were other incidents that prompted them to seek secure housing in D.C., including a woman who confronted Stephen Miller outside of his home last month and “wanted” posters placed on utility poles with the family’s home address.
More from The Atlantic:
A group called Arlington Neighbors United for Humanity warned in an Instagram post: “Your efforts to dismantle our democracy and destroy our social safety net will not be tolerated here.” The local protest became a backdrop to the Trump administration’s response to Kirk’s killing. When Miller, the architect of that response who is known for his inflammatory political rhetoric, announced a legal crackdown on liberal groups, he singled out the tactics that had victimized his family—what he called “organized campaigns of dehumanization, vilification, posting peoples’ addresses.”
Stephen Miller soon joined a growing list of senior Trump-administration political appointees—at least six by our count—living in Washington-area military housing, where they are shielded not just from potential violence but also from protest. It is an ominous marker of the nation’s polarization, to which the Trump administration has itself contributed, that some of those top public servants have felt a need to separate themselves from the public. These civilian officials can now depend on the U.S. military to augment their personal security. But so many have made the move that they are now straining the availability of housing for the nation’s top uniformed officers.
The magazine notes that Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem now live on military bases in D.C.
The Arlington side of the river has also hosted some top officials. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll lives on Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, according to The Atlantic, as did then-CIA Director Mike Pompeo during President Donald Trump’s first term.
