Overview
- Destiny Jackson says her family was driving home on Wednesday when they became trapped between protesters and federal officers in north Minneapolis.
- She reports that a tear-gas canister rolled under their SUV, filling it with gas as they tried to leave the area.
- The Minneapolis Fire Department said the six-month-old baby was breathing and stable but in serious condition before being taken to a hospital.
- Jackson says the canister’s impact triggered airbags and auto-locks, trapping eight occupants until bystanders helped extract the children.
- DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said agents were responding to rioters and agitators and did not target the family, as a federal judge moved to limit certain crowd-control measures and arrests of peaceful protesters in the state; Jackson says she has since received online threats.
