A couple says their six-month-old baby stopped breathing after ICE agents tear gassed them and their six children in their car, they told CBS News, the BBC’s US partner. <\/p>\n
Shawn and Destiny Jackson were driving with their children – an 11-year-old, a seven-year-old, four-year-old twins, a two-year-old and a six-month-old baby boy – when they got trapped between ICE agents and protesters. <\/p>\n
“They stopped at my car, and they proceeded to yell in and said ‘get out of here’. Well, they used profanity. And my husband screamed and said ‘we’re trying’,” Destiny Jackson told CBS.<\/p>\n
Jackson told CBS that she was concerned about pulling her car away while the ICE agents were nearby because of what happened with Renee Good.<\/p>\n
Agents then placed a tear gas canister under the car, which had its windows open, she told CBS. <\/p>\n
“Within seconds, there was a big boom and our car was up in the air and we slammed down and all of our airbags deployed and all of our doors locked. And tear gas just started forming, a ball of gas just started forming around the car,” Jackson said. <\/p>\n
By the time she was able to grab her six-month-old baby and give him CPR, he was foaming at the mouth and appeared lifeless. <\/p>\n
“I couldn’t even breathe myself, and all I remember is between every breath, I was saying, ‘I’m going to give you every breath I have until you get yours back.'”<\/p>\n
The Jacksons told CBS that all their children have physically recovered from the incident, but are having trouble sleeping after the trauma. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Family tear gassed in their car after getting trapped between ICE and protesterspublished at 15:59 GMT 15:59 GMT…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":373712,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-373711","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373711","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=373711"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373711\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/373712"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=373711"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=373711"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=373711"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
