U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem was taken to the hospital on Tuesday after suffering an allergic reaction, according to a DHS spokesperson.
She was transported to the hospital out of an abundance of caution, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital.
It is unclear what triggered the event.
Noem is said to be alert and recovering.
Bruce LeVell, former Executive Director of President Donald Trump’s National Diversity Coalition, took to social media to send Noem well wishes.
‘My dear friend @Sec_Noem, our fearless Secretary of Homeland Security, was just rushed to the hospital,’ LeVell wrote on X. ‘My heart is with her during this challenging time, but I know her strength and determination will shine through. Please join me in keeping Kristi in your prayers for a swift and full recovery.
‘She has been tirelessly spearheading @realDonaldTrump initiative to uphold law and order and utilize ICE to keep our country safe from criminals. Let’s stand strong for her, just as she’s stood strong for America.’
Charlie Kirk, Founder and CEO of Turning Point USA asked his followers to ‘Pray for Kristi.’
