According to Fox News Digital, Noem's purse, which contained $3,000 in cash, as well as personal documents, including her passport, keys, driver's license and a DHS badge, was taken by a White man wearing a mask.
"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," the spokesperson said.

A law enforcement official told CNN that the Secret Service reviewed security footage from the restaurant and saw “an unknown white male wearing a medical mask steal her bag and leave the restaurant.”
Donald Trump has been vocal about cleaning up the city.
Donald Trump has been vocal about crime in the capital city.
"Washington, D.C., must become CLEAN and SAFE again! We need our Great Police back on the street, with no excuses from the Mayor, or anyone else. The House should take up the D.C. funding 'fix' that the Senate has passed, and get it done IMMEDIATELY," he wrote on Truth Social in March, refeerring to Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser.

Kristi Noem's passport and keys were also stolen.
"We need to clean up our once beautiful Capital City, and make it beautiful again. We will be TOUGH ON CRIME, like never before. I will work with the Mayor on this and, if it does not happen, will have no choice but to do it myself. Washington, D.C., will be better, safer, and more beautiful than ever before!" he added.
Noem has been making headlines as of late for her controversial visit to El Salvador's mega-prison facility, where the U.S. has sent more than 200 Venezuelan migrants since Trump got into office.
The video clip showed dozens of shirtless, bald male prisoners in the background.
Noem's videos typically include her in makeup and glam — something Megyn Kelly recently commented on.
"Can we talk about Kristi Noem and these ridiculous photo ops? Why does she have to keep doing this?" Kelly said on "The Megyn Kelly Show." "She's doing a great job, her actual performance as DHS Secretary, in my view, anyway, has been amazing. Just stop trying to glamorize the mission and put yourself in the middle of it as you cosplay ICE agent, which you're not."
