Noem is ‘alert’ after trip to hospital
WASHINGTON (AP) — A spokesperson for Homeland Security says that Secretary Kristi Noem was taken to the hospital to treat an allergic reaction but is “alert and recovering.” Tricia McLaughlin said Noem was “transported to the hospital out of an abundance of caution” and “is alert and recovering.” Noem heads a sprawling department with roughly 260,000 employees responsible for immigration enforcement, airport security, disaster response and other responsibilities.
