White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller is selling his Arlington home after it was repeatedly targeted by activists.
The nearly 6,000-square-foot house, custom built with interiors that “embrace a refined Southern California aesthetic,” is listed for $3.75 million. Located on a cul de sac adjacent to a park in a quiet northern Arlington neighborhood, it sold new in 2023 for $2.875 million, records show.
Miller, said to be “the architect of Trump’s hardline immigration policy,” is one of the administration’s most controversial figures. On at least two occasions this year, including most recently in mid-September, activists have written messages of protest in front of his house and in the nearby park.
“Stephen Miller is destroying democracy,” “stop the kidnapping,” we [love] immigrants,” “hate has no home in Arlington,” “no white nationalism,” and “trans rights are human rights” are among the chalk messages seen last month before being washed away.
The chalk messages were written just days after the assassination of Charlie Kirk in Utah, prompting Miller’s wife, the podcaster and former communications official Katie Miller, to post a message of defiance on social media.
“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,” she posted via X on Sept. 14, accompanied by a video of some messages being removed with a garden hose.
She subsequently posted a photo of “DEI enriches us all” written in chalk on a sidewalk, labeling it “the rallying cry of the losers of the Left.” Miller’s podcast, which launched in August, was often recorded in the home’s living room.
Several media outlets including the Daily Mail (UK) reported on the chalk protest and the Millers’ reaction to it. During an appearance on The Sean Hannity Show, Stephen Miller and Hannity asserted that the messages amounted to “terroristic threats.”
The family was subsequently seen moving out a couple of weeks ago, neighbors said, and the home was listed for sale on Oct. 7. An elaborate set of Halloween decorations were also removed. It is unclear where the family moved to.
“At this time, the house is on the real estate market as the Millers have moved,” the most recent edition of the neighborhood civic association newsletter reported.
A White House spokeswoman did not respond to ARLnow’s request for comment.
An organization claiming credit for the September chalk protest, Arlington Neighbors United for Humanity, has denied handing out leaflets or sharing personal information about the Millers while writing on the sidewalk in chalk. In an Instagram post, the group said members were “expressing our concerns about the harm being done to our most vulnerable neighbors.”
Arlington voted 77.5% to 19.5% for Kamala Harris over Donald Trump last year, though Trump improved his local numbers slightly over 2020.
During the first Trump administration, Miller’s then-home in the CityCenterDC development was targeted by activists who handed out faux “wanted” posters with his photo and address. Social media photos from a few months ago alleging that similar “wanted” signs were posted on utility poles in nearby neighborhoods could not be independently verified by ARLnow.
The family’s Arlington home remains on the market, according to online listing services, despite no “for sale” sign being posted.
The home has six bedrooms and 6.5 baths, and features carrara marble kitchen countertops, a “black leathered marble island,” a “boutique style dressing room,” a “spa inspired bath [that] includes radiant heated floors,” “a covered rear porch with retractable screens,” and “comprehensive security.”
“This is luxury living at its finest,” the listing said.
This is not the only protest in front of an Arlington home to make recent headlines. In 2024 pro-Palestinian protesters spent months camped out in front of then-Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s house on N. Chain Bridge Road. Earlier this year, pro-Palestinian protests targeted the north Arlington home of a foundation board member; protesters spray painted the driveway, posted flyers, banged pots and pans, and called the homeowner a “war criminal.”
Outlets Reject Pentagon Press Rules — “Fox News, the former employer of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, on Tuesday joined a chorus of news outlets refusing to sign an agreement with the Pentagon that could limit journalists’ rights to gather or report information not officially authorized for release.” [Axios, Associated Press, Washington Post]
Regional Economy on the Brink — “Twenty-two states are either in a recession or on the precipice of a downturn, according to an intriguing analysis from Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics… in trouble are the states most exposed to federal job cuts, like Virginia and Maryland. Unemployment in Washington, D.C., was 6% in August, the highest in the country.” [Axios]
Controllers Giving Flyers to Fliers — “‘Hi – good morning. I’m an unpaid air traffic controller.’ That’s what a worker said as he approached travelers at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Tuesday morning. As the government shutdown hits the two-week mark, Tuesday is the first day air traffic controllers won’t get a full paycheck, according to the National Air Traffic Controllers Association. On Oct. 28, they won’t get paid at all.” [NBC 4]

A man is dead after police say he was last seen fleeing from state troopers on the 14th Street Bridge.
On Oct. 1, an early morning car chase that started on I-95, on charges of reckless driving, ended on the 14th Street Bridge after the suspect’s vehicle was disabled by spike strips deployed on I-395, according to Virginia State Police.
“Troopers were able to stop the vehicle, but the suspect driver fled from the car, leaping off the bridge and onto a catwalk, fleeing the scene,” VSP said in a press release later that day.
Traffic camera video posted by local public safety watcher Dave Statter showed troopers looking over the bridge after the suspect made the leap. Officers from Arlington County, as well as D.C. police and U.S. Park Police, helped to search for the suspect but were unable to find him.
As first reported today by Statter, the body of the man police say is the suspect was recovered from the river several days later.
“Virginia State Police has been notified that a body recovered from the Potomac River on Oct. 4, 2025, has been identified as Mohammed K. Hasan, the suspect from the pursuit on Oct. 1, 2025,” a VSP spokesman confirmed to ARLnow.
There’s no official word yet on how the man died.
