Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has reportedly been rushed to the hospital, though details on why have not yet been confirmed.
CNN released the original report, which was subsequently corroborated by independent journalist Nick Sortor, who said that Noem went to the hospital in an ambulance escorted by Secret Service. The White House and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have yet to comment or confirm the report.

Libs of TikTok, who has communicated with and gone to the Trump White House before, posted, “I’m told Secretary Kristi Noem had an allergic reaction. She was transported to the hospital out of an abundance of caution. She is alert and conscious.” Officials in the administration reportedly told the same thing to CBS News. There is as yet no official confirmation of this report, however.
DHS’s Customs and Border Protection (CBP) released statistics on illegal alien releases earlier today, praising Noem for helping secure our borders. “Thanks to the tireless efforts and diligent work of the men and women of CBP and the leadership of @POTUS and @Sec_Noem, USBP released 0 (not a single one) illegal aliens into our country in May, down from more than 62,000 in May of last year,” CBP declared. “This administration has seen the fastest improvement in American border security of all time.”

The UK Daily Mail garnered backlash by referring to Noem as the “ICE Barbie” in its headline about the hospital visit.
