DHS Secretary Noem Reveals Staffer Installed Spyware on Her Phone and Laptop

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem revealed Thursday that a DHS staffer installed spyware on her government phone and laptop to monitor her communications — calling it evidence of 'deep state' resistance within her own agency. The disclosure adds to a pattern of internal sabotage allegations from Trump administration officials who say career bureaucrats are actively working to undermine the president's agenda from within. The revelation comes as the DHS faces the compounding pressures of a partial government shutdown, expanded immigration enforcement, and ongoing tensions with sanctuary cities.
