WASHINGTON (AP) U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem was taken to the hospital on Tuesday after experiencing an allergic reaction, her spokeswoman said.
She is alert and recovering, said the statement from department spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin, who said the hospital treatment was out of an abundance of caution. Noem, 53, heads a sprawling department with roughly 260,000 employees handling immigration enforcement, airport security, disaster response and other matters.
She has been among the more high-profile members of President Donald Trumps cabinet, traveling extensively and maintaining a robust social media presence.
She is often the public face of his mass deportation effort, frequently goes out on immigration enforcement operations and has appeared in commercials encouraging immigrants in the country illegally to voluntarily leave the U.S.

(8 posts)I suspect it is just a reaction to all that botox in her face,. She may want to rethink her face-sculpting decisions.

(10,675 posts)... I want her to be fully well when her boss and his ideas are discredited. I know it's sometimes uncool to comment about someone's attractive or unattractive appearance, but I assume her "reaction" has something to do with all the cosmetic surgery I suspect she's done... she looks overdone. Too much stuff injected or implanted into the body can cause problems.
