An Easter family dinner turned into a nightmare for Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, as she was robbed of at least $3,000 at a Washington, D.C., restaurant despite having Secret Service protection.
“The thief got away with Noem’s driver’s license, medication, apartment keys, passport, DHS access badge, makeup bag, blank checks, and about $3,000 in cash,” CNN reported.

Noem confirmed the incident with reporters at Monday’s White House Easter Egg Roll, saying the matter is still unresolved.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin also confirmed the incident in an email to DailyMail.com and indicated the robbery occurred while Noem was out celebrating Easter dinner with her family.
“Her entire family was in town including her children and grandchildren – she was using the withdrawal to treat her family to dinner, activities, and Easter gifts,” McLaughlin said.
Cristina Laila at the Gateway Pundit called it “an appalling security breach.”
CBS News indicates: “Noem was dining at The Capital Burger, a popular and busy locale near D.C.’s downtown. Her purse was placed against her foot underneath her seat, according to two sources.”
A law-enforcement source told CNN the Secret Service reviewed security camera footage at the restaurant and saw an unknown white male wearing a medical mask snatch her bag before leaving the restaurant.
The agency has launched an investigation to trace any use of Noem’s financial instruments, the person added.
Earlier Sunday, Noem shared a family photo online, saying: “Happy Easter! Wishing Christians around the country joyful celebrations for the resurrection of our Lord and Savior. He is risen!”
