Kristi Noem discharged from hospital following emergency admission
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was released from the hospital late Tuesday after being transported by ambulance for emergency care due to an allergic reaction, the Washington Examiner has learned.
“Secretary Noem was discharged last night,” the DHS wrote in an email Wednesday.
Noem was taken to a Washington, D.C.-area hospital Tuesday after suffering an allergic reaction.
“Secretary Noem had an allergic reaction today. She was transported to the hospital out of an abundance of caution. She is alert and recovering,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement Tuesday.
The DHS has not disclosed what caused the allergic reaction.

Noem is the Trump administration’s point person on carrying out President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration. As the head of the DHS, she oversees Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection.
Noem frequently meets with federal law enforcement personnel in the field, but was in Washington at the time of the allergic reaction.
