Summary

  • Multiple people, including children, were exposed to tear gas during unrest involving ICE agents, with several receiving medical attention and reported to be physically OK.

Timeline

The mother says bystanders helped pull the children from the smoke-filled car, and her 6-month-old infant required mouth-to-mouth resuscitation after appearing unresponsive. The family says all children are physically OK but traumatized, according to an update from CBS News.

A Minneapolis couple says they were driving home with their six children when they became trapped between protesters and ICE agents, who allegedly released a tear gas canister beneath their vehicle. The parents say the canister exploded, lifting the car, deploying airbags, locking the doors, and quickly filling the vehicle with tear gas as officers ordered them to move.

According to local sources and live streams police are still deploying tear gas to disperse crowds in the streets.

The substance causing the reactions may be pepper spray, per firefighter communications.

Why are yall bringing the baby’s out to ts like it’s just a normal walkout or like it’s cute?…. Keep ur kids SAFE by not involving them.

@JessieStneighbor the baby wasn’t at the protest. The father of a residence was putting his kids in the car to take them somewhere safe… away from the protest.

carverUser1464644016Jan 14 at 11:05 PM

yes this is in a residential neighborhood. they were just trying to leave their house and try to protect their kids from the protest.

gordonmamaJan 14 at 10:58 PM

Wait. What are babies and children doing at an ice demonstration? That is wrong on ecery level.

Fact: peaceful protests have a statistically higher rate of making a change than this sh*t
