Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was hospitalized on Tuesday due to an allergic reaction, confirmed by DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin to POLITICO.
McLaughlin stated, “She was transported to the hospital out of an abundance of caution. She is alert and recovering.”
Details of the Incident
CNN was the first to report on Noem’s hospitalization. President Donald Trump appointed Noem, the former South Dakota governor, to the Department of Homeland Security following his election victory in November. She quickly became a prominent figure in his deportation efforts and the management of protests in Los Angeles.
Recovery and Current Status
Noem’s quick response to the allergic reaction and prompt medical care contributed to her alert state and ongoing recovery process. Her dedication to her role at the Department of Homeland Security remains unwavering despite this unforeseen incident.
