  • Snopes found that the nazis.us domain was registered by Mark Davis, a candidate for Congress in Florida's 16th District. In mid-January 2026, posts appeared on social media sites such as X, Threads, Facebook and BlueSky claiming that typing the domain "nazis.us" into a web browser redirected to the official website for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The claim alluded to criticism of President Donald Trump's deployment of DHS operatives, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, across Democratic-led states. Some opponents have compared the operations to those of the Gestapo, the secret police of Nazi Germany. Snopes readers wrote in and searched the site looking for more information about the claim. First, the claim was true — "nazis.us" universally redirected to "dhs.gov" on Safari, Chrome and Firefox browsers on both Mac and PC operating systems. We also discovered that the person who initially shared the claim, Mark Davis, was the one who bought the "nazis.us" domain. Davis is a candidate for U.S. House in Florida's 16th Congressional District and is running without a party affiliation, according to his Federal Election Commission filing and Ballotpedia. Snopes discovered the connection using a Whois lookup tool, which provides information about internet domains, including who initially registered them in some circumstances. When we searched "nazis.us" in the DomainTools Whois lookup, it showed that the domain was registered for one year on Jan. 13, 2026, through GoDaddy. The fields for the registrant, admin and tech names — that is, the person who registered the domain, the person who administers the domain and the person who maintains the domain — all were filled with "markdavisforcongress.com donate" and the contact email address used was "mark.davis@markdavisforcongress.com." On Jan. 15, 2026, Davis' campaign X account posted an acknowledgement that he had purchased the domain. "Whoever did that, give them a donation," the post read, sharing a link to a campaign donation site. OK, I think I have it figured out....if you go to https://t.co/wWWCf1RrCD it takes you to our DHS website because, of course it does. It just makes sense. Whoever did that, give them a donation. — Mark Davis for Congress (@MarkMadDogDavis) January 15, 2026
