A 6-month-old baby was hospitalized after federal law enforcement agents in Minneapolis struck a car full of children with a flash bang, before flooding it with tear gas.

Parents Shawn and Destiny Jackson told Kare11 that they were driving their six children home from a basketball game Wednesday when a protest stopped them in their tracks.

As bystanders rushed the children to the safety of a nearby house, they had to go back for the 6-month old who had stopped breathing. “He was the last person to come in, he was just like, lifeless, like, he had like, foam, like, around his mouth, and you can, he had tears coming out of his eyes,” Destiny told Kare11.

Destiny said she performed CPR on the child while others called emergency services, who arrived shortly after.

    They would just blame this one on the protestors and leave it that. Never thinking a moment beyond that, that there was no reason whatsoever for ICE to deliberately throw a flash bang or tear gas under a random car. “If those protesters hadn’t been disrupting traffic, the car wouldn’t have had to stop. End of story.” It’s called a thought-terminating cliché.
