Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was taken to the hospital on Tuesday after she suffered an allergic reaction.
“Secretary Noem had an allergic reaction. She was transported to the hospital out of an abundance of caution. She is alert and recovering,” Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.
A DHS official told NBC News that Noem was at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling in Washington when she had the allergic reaction.
Noem had a scheduled press conference Wednesday morning, but it was postponed.
DHS did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday.
