Family's SUV gets flooded with tear gas during the Twin Cities immigration crackdown
A Minneapolis couple says federal officers rolled a tear gas canister under their SUV, flooding it with toxic fumes and leaving them and several of their six children, including an infant, in need of hospital treatment. The incident happened Wednesday during the Trump administration's immigration crackdown in the Twin Cities. Destiny Jackson says they were driving home from a basketball game when they reached a blocked street. After stopping to talk to her mother, the situation grew tense. Jackson says they tried to leave but were caught in the chaos. The Department of Homeland Security says officers were responding to crowds and did not target the family.
