Kristi Noem Rushed to the Hospital by Ambulance
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, 53, was taken to a hospital in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday after suffering from an allergic reaction.
CNN was the first to report Tuesday that Noem had been transported to a hospital via ambulance, citing two sources familiar with the situation.
In a subsequent statement to the Daily Beast, assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin said: 'Secretary Noem had an allergic reaction today. She was transported to the hospital out of an abundance of caution. She is alert and recovering.'
Noem was recently in California assisting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) with immigration raids.
On Thursday, June 12, the homeland security secretary joined ICE officers during a raid in Huntington Park in Los Angeles County and took part in at least two operations, according to NBCLA.
It was that same day that Noem hosted her now-infamous press conference on immigration, during which California Senator Alex Padilla was forcibly escorted out of the conference, then wrestled to the ground and handcuffed after attempting to ask Noem a question.
More recently, Noem was spotted at President Donald Trump's sparsely-attended military birthday parade on Saturday, June 14. The following day, she posted a tribute to her husband, Bryon Noem, on X to celebrate Father's Day.
On Monday, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shared a photo of himself, Noem, and Sen. Rand Paul visiting the biological hazard labs at Fort Detrick on X. It appears that the visit occurred on Monday as well.
Several Secret Service agents have been posted at entrances outside the hospital Noem was admitted to, according to CNN.

These are the Democrats who've been arrested, detained or charged under Trump
A handful of Democrats have either been arrested, detained or charged under the Trump administration due to the White House's crackdown on illegal immigration. Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Ken Martin has condemned their treatment, arguing lawmakers are being assaulted without reason. 'Elected officials are being arrested for doing their jobs,' Martin wrote in a Wednesday statement on X. 'Once again, the Trump administration is silencing people who disagree with them in broad daylight.' Here are Democrats who have been recently apprehended by law enforcement: Several Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents handcuffed New York City Comptroller Brad Lander (D), a candidate for mayor, on Wednesday outside an immigration court for impeding law enforcement officers. Lander was escorting a defendant at immigration court while urging ICE agents to present a judicial warrant issued for the individual's arrest. 'I'm not obstructing. I'm standing here in this hallway asking for a judicial warrant,' Lander said while being handcuffed, as recorded in a video posted on X by his wife. 'You don't have the authority to arrest U.S. citizens,' Lander told them. He was swiftly rushed on to the elevator with law enforcement. but New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) said at a follow-up news conference he was later released and that all charges were dropped. However, Democrats rushed to condemn consecutive arrests of their party members in recent months. 'The aggressive targeting of Democratic elected officials by the Trump administration will invariably result in law-abiding public servants being marked for death by violent extremists. The Trump administration and their squad of masked agents must change course before it is too late,' House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) wrote in a statement on X. 'This is America. The request for a judicial warrant and observance of law enforcement activity are not crimes. There is zero basis for a federal investigation and any such plans should be dropped forthwith,' he added. Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) was forcibly removed from a June 12 press conference by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). He attended the presser with federal escorts and attempted to ask Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem a question. 'I'm Sen. Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary,' Padilla said before being swarmed by agents and forced outside the room. Trump administration officials allege that he lunged at Noem and, despite verbally identifying himself as a lawmaker, agents were unaware of his official capacity without the presence of a physical pin typically worn by members of Congress. 'Mr. Padilla was told repeatedly to back away and did not comply with officers' repeated commands. @SecretService thought he was an attacker and officers acted appropriately. Secretary Noem met with Senator Padilla after and held a 15 minute meeting,' DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin wrote on social platform X. Padilla later spoke out about the incident, declaring it as a threat to constitutional rights and the rule of law. 'I will say this: If this is how this administration responds to a senator with a question, I can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers to cooks to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California and throughout the country,' he said. Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.) was federally charged for allegedly interfering with ICE agents during a visit to the Delaney Hall detention center for congressional oversight. McIver was conducting oversight at the facility alongside Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-N.J.) and Rob Menendez (D-N.J.), who all say McIver didn't obstruct or impede law enforcement operations amid immigration protests outside the building. Interim U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Alina Habba announced on June 10 a three-count grand jury indictment of McIver over the incident. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) filed a House resolution to expel the lawmaker. 'The facts of this case will prove I was simply doing my job and will expose these proceedings for what they are: a brazen attempt at political intimidation. This indictment is no more justified than the original charges, and is an effort by Trump's administration to dodge accountability for the chaos ICE caused and scare me out of doing the work I was elected to do,' McIver said in a statement on the matter. Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan was indicted by a federal grand jury in early May for 'knowingly' concealing a migrant. Authorities allege that Dugan directed the migrant and his counsel to leave the courtroom through a 'non-public' jury door to avoid immigration authorities after telling ICE U.S. they needed a warrant to search the premises. 'As she said after her unnecessary arrest, Judge Dugan asserts her innocence and looks forward to being vindicated in court,' Craig Mastantuono, the attorney representing the judge, said in a previous statement to NBC News. Following her April arrest, Dugan was temporarily suspended by the Wisconsin Supreme Court, which said 'it is in the public interest that she be temporarily relieved of her official duties.' Newark Mayor Ras Baraka (D) was briefly arrested following his visit to the Delaney Hall detention center in New Jersey. Habba originally threatened to press charges but withdrew the statement after further review of the incident. 'I was cuffed, fingerprinted, took pictures of, twice — once there and once in court — for a class C misdemeanor, which you send summons to people for. You don't lock them up and take their fingerprints,' Baraka told MSNBC. 'They said the charges are too minor to have a preliminary hearing,' he added. 'So if it's too minor to have a preliminary hearing, why are you fingerprinting me and taking pictures of me and interrogating me in a room? And why are you doing it twice?' Baraka has filed a lawsuit against Habba in her personal capacity regarding his treatment, false arrest, malicious prosecution and defamation in addition to accusing the interim U.S. Attorney of acting as a 'political operative, outside of any function intimately related to the judicial process.' Ricky Patel, the Homeland Security Investigations agent in charge of Newark, is also named in the suit. Rep. Jerry Nadler's (D-N.Y.) staffer was briefly detained in May after DHS agents entered the congressman's Manhattan office searching for 'protesters.' One agent accused Nadler aides of 'harboring rioters.' 'They barged in. And in barging in one of the offices, a very big, heavyset fellow pushed my aide — a very petite young woman — and they then said that she pushed back and they shackled her and took her downstairs,' Nadler told CNN. 'And she was obviously traumatized,' he added. Her detainment was again condemned by Jeffries, who said the effort was a part of a larger objective being enforced by the Trump administration. 'The administration is clearly trying to intimidate Democrats, in the same way that they're trying to intimidate the country,' Jeffries said Sunday in an interview with CNN. 'This whole 'shock and awe' strategy — this, 'flood the zone with outrageous behavior' that they've tried to unleash on the American people during the first few months of the Trump administration — is all designed to create the appearance of inevitability.'

Letters to the Editor: As deportations continue, ‘businesses are in for a long, edgy summer'
To the editor: This article quoted the owner of one of the businesses raided (''They are grabbing people.' L.A. and Orange County car wash workers targeted by federal immigration raids,' June 11). He said he would close his shop without the employees detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. But beyond loss of revenues, shouldn't he, and the myriad other business and farm owners who are being raided, be deeply worried about their ICE liabilities, not least of all under 8 U.S. Code 1324a? If ICE detains undocumented workers, are employers at risk? If the present administration is just getting started on its campaign promise to deport 11 million undocumented people nationwide, businesses are in for a long, edgy summer. Chaos for workers. Chaos for businesses. Chaos period. Buzz McCord, Huntington Beach .. To the editor: Pacific Auto Spa in Whittier, at which an immigration raid was reported on June 11, is my go-to car wash. My privileged view from the waiting area is of hardworking men and women wiping down vehicles. I see them occasionally joke with one another — gestures of camaraderie and dignity while earning an honest dollar. The raid was reported on in one page of the Los Angeles Times. On another page was reporting on the Louisiana Legislature's move to enhance immigration enforcement ('Louisiana is the latest Republican-led state expanding its role in immigration enforcement,' June 12). I will exercise a sliver of power through my discretionary income. I will resist a planned trip to New Orleans. I will spend my money in Downey, Los Angeles, Whittier and all through California.
