Noem, who was ousted as DHS secretary in March, is reportedly still occupying a taxpayer-funded U.S. Coast Guard home in Washington, D.C.​

On May 1, Democratic Representative Robert Garcia sent a letter to DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin over Noem’s continued occupancy of the waterfront property.

​“Kristi Noem got fired in March and she is still living rent-free in a government home that belongs to the Coast Guard,” Garcia said in a statement, accompanying the letter. “The Trump Administration can’t explain why, nor do they seem to care.”
