Miles Taylor, the former Department of Homeland Security (DHS) staffer who authored the “Anonymous” New York Times op-ed, revealed in a new profile that he shuffles between undisclosed locations and has hired private security after receiving death threats.
Taylor told The Washington Post that he has moved between at least 10 different locations like private homes and hotels since revealing himself as the author of the controversial opinion piece in October.
His private security detail guards the entrance of the location where he is located that day.
“I’m so spooked,” Taylor told the Post during an interview at a secret location.
The precautions come after Taylor received a flood of criticism and death threats, according to the newspaper.
Critics on the right called him a “traitor,” the Post noted, while those on the left knocked him for working for two years in the Trump administration as the chief of staff to former Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, especially since he was reportedly involved in the agency’s family separation policy. He also faced backlash for not revealing his identity sooner.
Taylor during the interview recalled an instance in September where a drone hovered in the sky above him while he dined at an outdoor restaurant in Tucson, Ariz.
