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.

    I’ve read articles saying that abolishing ICE now has popular support, and other ones saying that it is much more difficult to unwind a carceral state than it was to put it together in the first place. But ICE is uniquely open to being made irrelevant via presidential order. All a president would have to do is use the vast power of pardon and clemency to pardon people for crossing the border illegally.

    Immediately afterwards, ICE would have nobody to arrest or harass and no job to do.

    In addition, the “bad hombres” could still be deported, but only on the back of other crimes they committed.
