Earlier this week, on Monday, Noem and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. visited Fort Detrick, a maryland Army Base currently under FBI investigation due to a biohazard incident.
Kennedy recently informed the Senate about the closure of a biosafety lab following an incident involving two contractors.
Bruce LeVell, a former advisor to President Donald Trump, expressed his support for noem on Tuesday.
“My heart is with her during this challenging time, but I know her strength and determination will shine through. Please join me in keeping Kristi in your prayers for a swift and full recovery,” LeVell shared on X.
He added,”She has been tirelessly spearheading @realDonaldTrump initiative to uphold law and order and utilize ICE to keep our country safe from criminals. Let’s stand strong for her, just as she’s stood strong for America.”
In a subsequent post on Wednesday, LeVell wrote: “Praise God, @Sec_Noem is going to be alright!”

The former South Dakota governor has become a prominent figure as a member of Trump’s cabinet.
“She was transported to the hospital out of an abundance of caution. She is alert and recovering,”
Under Noem’s leadership, immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have increased arrests, targeting immigrants in locations such as courthouses. ICE reportedly has an arrest quota of 3,000 per day.
As Noem and others in the Trump administration implement the president’s mass deportation plans, protests have occurred in Los Angeles and other major cities.
