Former Trump administration official, Stephen Miller, has recently placed his Arlington, Virginia, home on the market for a cool $3.75 million. This decision follows reported incidents of activist messages being left outside the property.
A Look Inside the $3.75 Million Property
The Arlington residence, boasting 6,000 square feet, is described as having a "refined Southern California aesthetic." Imagine marble kitchen countertops, a "boutique style dressing room," and a "spa-inspired bath [that] includes radiant heated floors." The property listing also highlights "comprehensive security" features. It seems like a pretty sweet setup!
According to ARLNow, a local news source, the listing price reflects a significant increase from its 2023 sale. So, why the move?
Messages and Reactions
The decision to sell comes after activists reportedly left messages on the sidewalk outside the home, where Miller resided with his wife, Katie Miller, and their three children. Katie Miller, formerly a top DOGE staffer and now host of a podcast, has spoken out against these actions.

The messages, reportedly written in chalk, included phrases like "trans rights are human rights," "stop the kidnapping," and "no white nationalism." These messages reflect differing political viewpoints, and the situation highlights the tensions that can arise from political activism near private residences.
Following the death of Charlie Kirk, Katie Miller posted on social media, stating, “To the ‘Tolerant Left’ who spent their day trying to intimidate us in the house where we have three young children: We will not back down…We will not cower in fear. We will double down. Always, For Charlie.”
Community Response
Arlington Neighbors United for Humanity, a local community organization, has claimed responsibility for the messages. It's worth noting that Arlington is a community where a significant majority of residents voted for Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.

Not the First Time
This isn't the first time Stephen Miller's home has been the target of protests. During his time in the Trump administration, his former D.C. residence was picketed by activists.
Broader Trend?
Miller's situation is not unique. Other U.S. government officials, like former Secretary of State Antony Blinken, have also experienced protests at their homes, highlighting an increase in this type of activism.
It remains to be seen who will purchase the Arlington property and whether the change of scenery will bring any respite from the ongoing political tensions.
