U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem was transported by ambulance to a hospital in Washington, D.C., after experiencing an allergic reaction, according to CNN and NewsNation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Noem was reportedly conscious upon arrival on Tuesday and has spoken with her security detail, according to CNN, citing two sources familiar with the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI can confirm she went by ambulance about 45 minutes ago, and that ambulance was escorted by multiple Secret Service vehicles,\u201d independent conservative journalist Nick Sortor said in a social media post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
White House correspondent Kellie Meyer of NewsNation reported that Noem was taken to the hospital out of an abundance of caution and that she is alert and recovering, according to a DHS official.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As of Tuesday evening, no official statement has been issued by the Department of Homeland Security, the White House, or Secretary Noem\u2019s office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
