WASHINGTON — Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was rushed by an ambulance to a Washington, D.C., hospital on Tuesday following what the agency said was an allergic reaction.

“She was transported to the hospital out of an abundance of caution. She is alert and recovering,” confirmed Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. She did not say what caused the reaction.

CNN spotted Secret Service agents at several entrances outside the emergency room where the 53-year-old was admitted.

Noem is regularly in the spotlight due to her high-stakes work with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement as the Trump administration tries to make good on its promise to focus on migrant deportations.

Her security detail manhandled U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., when he tried to press Noem on her work in Los Angeles last week as protests erupted in reaction to federal agents’ handling of the matter.
