Six children were hospitalized after a flash‑bang device detonated near a van during an ICE protest in north Minneapolis, parents Shawn and Destiny Jackson said. They said ICE agents initially blocked their vehicle and rolled a tear‑gas canister under the van as they tried to leave, causing airbags to deploy and the van to fill with gas; the mother performed CPR on a 6‑month‑old who stopped breathing, and three children, including the infant, were taken to the hospital. The Jacksons say they had not been protesting but were simply trying to go home.
