Excerpt: "Destiny Jackson said she performed CPR on the infant after the baby stopped breathing and lost consciousness.
"Three of the children—the 6-month-old infant and two others, ages 7 and 11 years—were taken by ambulance to a local hospital for treatment.
" 'My kids were innocent, I was innocent, my husband was innocent, this shouldn’t have happened,' Destiny Jackson told KMSP. 'We were just trying to go home.'
"Jackson said that neither she nor her husband have ever protested before—but now they feel they have good reason to do so.
" 'I’m mad as hell,' Shawn Jackson said during an interview with Sky News. 'But now there’s gonna be hell on wheels. They’re definitely gonna have to pay for this.'
" 'This just shows how they don’t care,' Jackson said of the federal agents. 'I was arguing with the officers to call the ambulance for five minutes... He knew there were [children] in the car; he didn’t even try and help.' "
