A number of users affirmed that they took screenshots of the US Department of Homeland Security that listed its location as Tel Aviv, Israel. X then briefly paused the feature for an "unknown reason." The information was purged from the DHS page and DHS denied that its account is run from Israel.
Some reports indicate that X had a glitch where it showed the actual location of each profile regardless of a VPN.

From Restoring Liberty:

A new transparency feature on X has sparked major political controversy after users circulated screenshots claiming the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's official account was listed as being based in Israel. The feature, which quietly appeared on the platform over the weekend, allows users to view the current or past location of an account by tapping the join-date field. While the tool was intended to expose foreign-operated influence accounts posing as Americans, the rollout instead created a wave of confusion and speculation.

Almost immediately, users began posting screen captures showing the DHS location field reading "Tel Aviv, Israel." The images and videos spread rapidly across X and other platforms, intensifying criticism amid already heightened debate over U.S. support for Israel. Some posts also highlighted a surge of MAGA-branded accounts that appeared to originate from locations in Eastern Europe, Asia, and Africa—supposedly undermining their authenticity.

Initially, DHS responded informally with a meme-like image, but quickly followed with a formal statement denying the claim. The agency insisted that its account had "only ever been run and operated from the United States."
