Six children were hospitalized after a flash-bang device detonated near their van during a north Minneapolis protest outside an ICE facility, police and media reports say. Parents Shawn and Destiny Jackson say ICE agents blocked their vehicle, rolled a tear gas canister under the van and the flash-bang went off, causing airbags to deploy and the van to fill with gas; the mother performed CPR on their 6‑month‑old, and three children — including the infant — were taken to the hospital by ambulance while all six were in the vehicle, the parents say they were trying to go home and not protesting.
