Podcaster Katie Miller, the wife of White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller, said on Thursday that harassment and threats from left-wing activists made it unsafe for her children to play outside their home.
Speaking on the “Ruthless” podcast, Miller said the family received death threats and faced repeated intimidation in their Arlington, Virginia, neighborhood, ultimately prompting them to move.
“There were people who drove by my home, there were people who sent us death threats, who knew where we lived, and it was no longer safe for our children to play in our front yard, or our backyard,” she said.
Miller’s husband has been a key architect of President Donald Trump’s deportation strategy. In October, The Atlantic reported that the Millers had relocated to military housing after protests outside their Arlington home, noting that several senior Trump administration officials have taken similar steps due to safety concerns.
Local outlet ARLnow has described harassment tactics allegedly used against the family, including distributing fliers in the neighborhood that listed their home address and labeled Stephen Miller a “Nazi” responsible for “crimes against humanity.” Another group, Arlington Neighbors United for Humanity, reportedly held sidewalk-chalk demonstrations accusing him of “destroying democracy,” “kidnapping,” and “White nationalism.”
Miller said the situation left her constantly on edge while caring for her children in public spaces near their home.
“But unfortunately, what happens when you have little kids who are impossible to get in and out of car seats, right? How many parents can relate to a kid doing a tantrum?” she said. “How many parents can relate to their kids chalking or learning to ride a bike, and that takes a while and your heads are not on a swivel looking around for who’s coming fast with a high-powered weapon? And that’s a society that we’re living in.”
She also recalled a confrontation that she said occurred shortly after conservative activist Charlie Kirk was murdered. According to Miller, someone handed out “Wanted”-style fliers to neighbors that included Stephen Miller’s name, address, and a list of alleged crimes.
“And it leads you to only one conclusion when you’re doing that — 9:30 a.m. the day Charlie was murdered,” she said. “And so, if their intention isn’t to intimidate, harass and scare, I don’t know what it is.”
White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson condemned the threats in a statement to Fox News Digital, saying that activists have targeted not only the president but also members of his administration. She called doxxing and other actions that endanger officials and their families unacceptable and urged authorities to investigate such incidents.
